Fluorescent microscope image of the proximal tubule, the part of the kidney that’s most affected by ceramides. [Luis Cedeño-Rosario] Serious damage to short-term kidney function, known as acute kidney ...

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 ...

A detailed new map of the human kidney revealed a previously unrecognized form of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) marked by ...

A phase 2 trial shows rilparencel improves annual eGFR slope, which suggests the cell therapy may preserve kidney function in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Rilparencel, an investigational renal ...

As concerns rise about the effects of tiny plastic particles on human health, Flinders University researchers have led new research on whether nanoplastics can accumulate or cause damage in ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...
