Hi Rosemary. I don't know if the recorded webinar is posted yet. I'm attaching the news release - research letter - on the actual report of the research. I needed my son to help decipher the math. 🙂

No. I’m sorry. You had asked about the recording....which I had found earlier, but didn’t post it since it required a passcode. And, I couldn’t find any reference as to how to get said passcode.🤔

Hi Rosemary. My husband received his new liver at Mayo Rochester in October 2018. It’s been a long road, 33 days in hospital post transplant, he’s doing well now, and we have found this forum very helpful.

Evidently Tacrolimus is a prophylactic for Covid 19 in preventing sever infection.
Tacrolimus is immunosuppressive by inhibiting calcineurin, and suppressing the early phase of T-cell activation, and the expression of many cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, TNF-α and IFN-γ) that are needed in the activation of the cellular immune response, possibly preventing a cytokine storm as observed in severe COVID-19.Jun 27, 2020
