A resource for the Drosophila antennal lobe provided by the connectome of glomerulus VA1v

eLife, 2018
Using FIB-SEM we report the entire synaptic connectome of glomerulus VA1v of the right antennal lobe in Drosophila melanogaster. Within the glomerulus we densely reconstructed all neurons, including hitherto elusive local interneurons.

Single Cell Transcriptome Helps Better Understanding Crosstalk in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Years of research revealed that crosstalk extensively existed among kidney cells, cell factors and metabolites and played an important role in the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). In the last few years, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)

Application of direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) to the histological analysis of human glomerular disease

The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, 2021
Electron microscopy (EM) following immunofluorescence (IF) imaging is a vital tool for the diagnosis of human glomerular diseases, but the implementation of EM is limited to specialised institutions and it is not available in many countries.

Functional Reintegration of Sensory Neurons and Transitional Dendritic Reduction of Mitral/Tufted Cells during Injury-Induced Recovery of the Larval Xenopus Olfactory Circuit

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms involved in maintaining lifelong neurogenesis has a clear biological and clinical interest. In the present study, we performed olfactory nerve transection on larval Xenopus to induce severe damage to the olfactory circuitry ...

Co-Culture of Glomerular Endothelial Cells and Podocytes in a Custom-Designed Glomerulus-on-a-Chip Model Improves the Filtration Barrier Integrity and Affects the Glomerular Cell Phenotype

Biosensors, 2023
Crosstalk between glomerular endothelial cells and glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes) is increasingly becoming apparent as a crucial mechanism to maintain the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier.

Injection of hybrid 3D spheroids composed of podocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, and vascular endothelial cells into the renal cortex improves kidney function and replenishes glomerular podocytes

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2021
Podocytes are highly differentiated epithelial cells that are crucial for maintaining the glomerular filtration barrier in the kidney. Podocyte injury followed by depletion is the major cause of pathological progression of kidney diseases.

The ShGlomAssay Combines High-Throughput Drug Screening With Downstream Analyses and Reveals the Protective Role of Vitamin D3 and Calcipotriol on Podocytes

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health burden affecting more than 500 million people worldwide. Podocytopathies are the main cause for the majority of CKD cases due to pathogenic morphological as well as molecular biological alterations of

Melanocortin System in Kidney Homeostasis and Disease: Novel Therapeutic Opportunities

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Melanocortin peptides, melanocortin receptors, melanocortin receptor accessory proteins, and endogenous antagonists of melanocortin receptors are the key components constituting the melanocortin hormone system, one of the most complex and important ...

Bioinformatics Analysis Reveals Crosstalk Among Platelets, Immune Cells, and the Glomerulus That May Play an Important Role in the Development of Diabetic Nephropathy

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Glomerulus damage is one of the primary pathological changes in DN. To reveal the gene expression alteration in the glomerulus involved in DN development, we screened the Gene

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Underlying the Initiation and Progression of Alport Glomerular Pathology

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Alport syndrome results from a myriad of variants in the COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes that encode type IV (basement membrane) collagens. Unlike type IV collagen α1(IV)2α2(IV)1 heterotrimers, which are ubiquitous in basement membranes, α3/α4/α5 have a ...
