The AGE receptor, OST48 drives podocyte foot process effacement and basement membrane expansion (alters structural composition)

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, 2021
Aims The accumulation of advanced glycation end products is implicated in the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease. No study has examined whether stimulating advanced glycation clearance via receptor manipulation is reno‐protective in ...

Increased mitochondrial proton leak and glycolysis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in type-1-diabetes

Heliyon, 2022
Changes in cellular bioenergetics such as mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis may play a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases including type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Recent advances in the treatment of patients with obesity and chronic kidney disease

Annals of Medicine, 2023
Obesity is a chronic disease characterised by excess adiposity, which impairs health. The high prevalence of obesity raises the risk of long-term medical complications including type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

Homozygous receptors for insulin and not IGF-1 accelerate intimal hyperplasia in insulin resistance and diabetes

Nature Communications, 2019
Both insulin and IGF-1 signaling have been implicated in arterial intimal hyperplasia. Here the authors dissect the relative contributions of insulin and IGF-1 receptors, showing that homodimers of insulin receptors, but not IGF-1 receptor, induce ...

A gut feeling for drugs that have metabolic benefits

Nature Communications, 2023
Resveratrol (REV) is a natural polyphenol with anti-obesity effects. However, the mechanisms remain unclear due to its low bioavailability and the lack of defined membrane-bound or nuclear receptors.

An endoplasmic reticulum stress-regulated lncRNA hosting a microRNA megacluster induces early features of diabetic nephropathy

Nature Communications, 2016
Nephropathy is a common and hard-to-treat consequence of diabetes. Here Kato et al. show that a megacluster of microRNAs regulates early development of diabetic nephropathy in mice, and that inhibition of the cluster's host long non-coding RNA transcript

Murine Nephrotoxic Nephritis as a Model of Chronic Kidney Disease

International Journal of Nephrology, 2018
Using the nonaccelerated murine nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN) as a model of chronic kidney disease (CKD) could provide an easily inducible model that enables a rapid test of treatments.

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Sequence features of retrotransposons allow for epigenetic variability

eLife, 2021
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up a large fraction of mammalian genomes. While select TEs have been co-opted in host genomes to have function, the majority of these elements are epigenetically silenced by DNA ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.
