In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, USC scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the ...

Rather than focusing on compensating for kidney decline through external interventions, Roivios has developed a technology intended to restore the pressure dynamics that support normal kidney ...

Glomerulonephritis can cause protein leakage in urine, swelling, fatigue, and kidney damage, making early diagnosis and ...

Among patients without albuminuria, shrunken pore syndrome was associated with higher risks for HF (hazard ratio [HR], 3.07; 95% CI, 1.47-6.69), peripheral artery disease (HR, 3.64; 95% CI, 1.75-7.57) ...

The glomerular filtration barrier comprises three interdependent layers: a fenestrated endothelium coated by a glycocalyx, a specialised glomerular basement membrane and podocyte foot processes linked ...

A team has devised a more accurate way of measuring an indicator of kidney function known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by taking aging into account. Annual health checkups regularly include ...

THE kidneys are among the most important organs in the human body, yet many people rarely think about them until a problem develops. These two bean-shaped organs, located on either side of the spine ...

This study was a retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study including adult patients (i.e. ≥ 18 years) with histologically-confirmed solid cancer who had received at least one dose of ...

Scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the nephrons. NPCs hold immense promise for ...
