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 ...

Research published ahead of print in the journal Function presents a new mathematical model using opossum kidney cells to study the endocytic capacity of proximal tubule cells in the kidneys. The ...

Chronic kidney disease is a condition in which kidney function declines, causing significant health issues in patients. A previous study led by Dr. Motoko Yanagita found that tertiary lymphoid tissues ...

SINGAPORE, 1 February 2023 – In a world first, scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School, the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) and colleagues in Germany have shown that regenerative therapy to ...

Every year, thousands of patients with kidney failure face the same stark reality: Dialysis keeps them alive, but their quality of life is significantly reduced. Dialysis cannot replace all the ...

MDI Bio Lab scientists discovered how zebrafish solve a basic challenge in regenerative biology—insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair. When ...

MDI Bio Lab scientists discover how the fish solves a basic challenge in regenerative biology-insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair. When the ...

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 normal functioning of kidneys requires high levels of energy and kidney disease is characterized by a disruption of that energy metabolism. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a molecule ...
