iNew Medicine, EarlyView.A tFNA‐based siRNA delivery system targeting IGFBP7 effectively silences IGFBP7 expression and attenuates renal dysfunction, tubular injury, and cell death in both septic (CLP) and ischemic (I/R) murine models of acute kidney injury. ABSTRACT Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious clinical condition, yet effective targeted therapies remain ...

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heavy metal exposure is known to have various effects on renal function and blood glucose regulation. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of cement dust and some metal (cadmium, manganese, nickel, and zinc) exposure on blood glucose and renal function parameters in male cement plant workers.
