Podocytes respond to hormones and growth factors that are present in the circulation or locally produced in the glomerulus A variety of receptors on the cell surface are thought to enable podocytes to ...
Although the pathophysiology of mesangial cells has long been considered to be the major factor in the development of glomerulosclerosis in type 1 or type 2 diabetes, more recent evidence suggests ...
Unlike other human stem cells, Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) can be produced directly from adult cells. Now, researchers have shown that human kidney podocytes produced from iPS cells via ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — In the early stages of kidney disease, a specialized type of kidney cell called the podocyte undergoes damaging changes in both its structure and function. Those changes are key ...
BUFFALO, NY-August 8, 2023 – A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 14, entitled, “Inhibiting ...
Not intended for the UK Apecotrep (BI 764198) is a potential first-in-class, oral, selective TRPC6 inhibitor being investigated as a novel, ...
Vertex is running a phase 2 trial of inaxaplin in APOL1-mediated kidney diseases, including some forms of FSGS. The phase 3 ...
As one of the major targets of Covid-19, infection in the kidneys can led to significant complications associated with kidney disease, as well as kidney failure. Kidney damage can occur even in those ...
Scientists in Japan have found a "skeleton key" for congenital kidney disease research. Using iPS cells generated from the skin cells of a patient with a nephrin mutation, Kumamoto University ...
Kidney complications are some of the most common and severe symptoms associated with Covid-19. Estimates show that 30% of people hospitalized for severe infection and 50% of those that are later ...
Nephropathy is a major complication of diabetes. Alterations of mesangial cells have traditionally been the focus of research in deciphering molecular mechanisms of diabetic nephropathy. Injury of ...
