A comparative analysis of glomerulus development in the pronephros of medaka and zebrafish.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The glomerulus of the vertebrate kidney links the vasculature to the excretory system and produces the primary urine. It is a component of every single nephron in the complex mammalian metanephros and also in the primitive pronephros of fish and ...

A short history of 'glomerulus' [PDF]

Clinical Kidney Journal, 2013
After enjoying Kettritz's and Luft's Nephroquiz [1], I enjoyed even more their reply [2] to my comment, which they ended by posing an interesting dilemma: should we use the terms ‘glomerulus/glomeruli’, masculine gender, or ‘glomerulum/glomerula’, neutral gender?

The role of fibroblast growth factors in cell and cancer metabolism

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates crucial signaling cascades that promote cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Therefore, FGFs and their receptors are often dysregulated in human diseases, including cancer, to sustain proliferation and rewire metabolism.

Optical coherence tomography of the living human kidney [PDF]

Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2014
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) induced by ischemia is the most common insult to donor kidneys destined for transplantation. ATN results from swelling and subsequent damage to cells lining the kidney tubules.

Diabetes‐induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Evolutionary Origin of the Proepicardium

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2013
The embryonic epicardium and the cardiac mesenchyme derived from it are critical to heart development. The embryonic epicardium arises from an extracardiac progenitor tissue called the proepicardium, a proliferation of coelomic cells located at the limit

Building the Glomerulus [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2005
The structural integrity of the glomerular capillaries stems from the stereotyped arrangement of the three constituent cell types: Podocytes (also called visceral epithelial cells), endothelial cells, and mesangial cells.

INF2‐Related Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease in a Japanese Cohort: Genetic and Clinical Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background INF2 mutations cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT). Accurate genetic diagnosis is critical, as INF2‐related FSGS is typically resistant to immunotherapy yet rarely recurs after transplantation, and its associated neuropathy can mimic treatable immune‐mediated disorders such as ...
