Predicting Dosage of Immunosuppressant Drugs After Kidney Transplantation Using Machine Learning [PDF]
While kidney transplants are seen as the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease and kidney failure, the organ's health depends on the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs post-transplantation. Due to the dosage variance based on each patient's unique physiology, nephrologists face numerous difficulties when determining the precise

Ferroptosis and kidney disease
Cell death is a finely regulated process occurring through different pathways. Regulated cell death, either through apoptosis or regulated necrosis offers the possibility of therapeutic intervention. Necroptosis and ferroptosis are among the best studied forms of regulated necrosis in the context of kidney disease.

Porphyria and kidney diseases [PDF]
The kidneys, after the bone marrow and liver, are third in terms of the amounts of haem synthesized daily. Haem is incorporated into haemoproteins that are critical to renal physiology. In turn, disturbances in haem metabolism interfere with renal physiology and are tightly interrelated with kidney diseases.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Deep Learning for Polycystic Kidney Disease: Utilizing Neural Networks for Accurate and Early Detection through Gene Expression Analysis [PDF]
With Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) potentially leading to fatal complications in patients due to the formation of cysts in kidneys, early detection of PKD is crucial for effective management of the condition. However, the various patient-specific factors that play a role in the diagnosis make it an intricate puzzle for clinicians to solve, leading to
