aProximate TM is an advanced in vitro model of kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) that closely mimics physiological conditions. Derived from fresh human kidney tissue, aProximate TM PTCs are cultured ...

Scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in kidney research. In a paper published in the journal Communications Biology, a team of researchers at Kyoto University led by Ramin Sadeghian present ...

Using measures of kidney function and biomarkers to look at kidney tubule damage, this study showed that use of NSAIDS for pain in older ambulatory adults did not lead to kidney injury or decrease in ...

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle damage—often caused by drug intake—can lead to impaired kidney function and ...

The kidneys contain millions of microscopic blood vessels known as peritubular capillaries. These vessels recapture helpful nutrients like glucose and minerals and return them to your bloodstream for ...

The distribution of a number of membrane proteins on plasmalemmal microdomains (microvilli, coated pits) and in endosomes and lysosomes of the proximal tubule epithelial cell was determined in normal ...

Scientists at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) are working on a new approach to treating kidney failure that could one day free people from needing dialysis or taking drugs to ...

Your kidneys work tirelessly as your body’s filtration system, processing roughly 200 quarts of blood daily to remove waste and excess fluid. Despite their vital importance, kidney problems often ...
