Ion channels: structural basis for function and disease. [PDF]

, 1996
Ion channels are ubiquitous proteins that mediate nervous and muscular function, rapid transmembrane signaling events, and ionic and fluid balance. The cloning of genes encoding ion channels has led to major strides in understanding the mechanistic basis

Self‐Administered Taste Testing Without Water: Normative Data for the 53‐Item Waterless Empirical Taste Test (WETT)

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), more than 20 million Americans suffer from chronic taste problems. Unfortunately, quantitative testing is rarely performed, self‐reports are inaccurate, and “taste” is often confused with olfaction‐dependent flavors.

Phosphorylation at the Helm: Kinase‐Mediated Regulation of Primary Cilia Assembly and Disassembly

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The primary cilium serves as an antenna of most vertebrate cells and is important for conveying cues from several signaling pathways into appropriate cellular responses during development and homeostasis. Cilia assembly and disassembly processes are thought to be strictly controlled; however, the precise nature of molecular events underlying ...

An emerging molecular understanding and novel targeted treatment approaches in pediatric kidney diseases

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2014
The evaluation and treatment of the heterogeneous group of pediatric kidney diseases poses a challenging field in pediatrics. Many of the pediatric disorders resulting in severe renal affection are exceedingly rare and therapeutic approaches have ...

Development of Novel Anticancer Pyrazolopyrimidinones Targeting Glioblastoma

ChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Pyrazolo[1,5‐α]pyrimidinone derivatives exhibit selective cytotoxicity towards glioblastoma (GBM) cells over noncancerous cells. Structure–activity relationship studies identifies a lead compound with significant cytotoxicity activity, inducing apoptosis and necrosis in GBM cells, without affecting noncancerous cells. This demonstrates the potential of

Changes in Protein Expression of Renal Drug Transporters and Drug‐Metabolizing Enzymes in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most prevalent inherited kidney disease and leads to bilateral kidney enlargement and progressive loss of renal function, often over decades. Comorbidities include hypertension, flank pain, and bacterial infections. The condition often necessitates prolonged multidrug therapy.

Increased water intake reduces long-term renal and cardiovascular disease progression in experimental polycystic kidney disease.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common inherited cause of kidney failure and currently has limited treatment options. Increasing water intake reduces renal cyst growth in the pck rat (a genetic ortholog of autosomal recessive PKD) but it is ...

Population Pharmacokinetic/Toxicodynamic Model for Polymyxin B in Critically Ill Patients to Identify the Risk of Nephrotoxicity

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Polymyxins are used against highly resistant Gram‐negative pathogens, and nephrotoxicity (acute kidney injury, AKI) is the major dose‐limiting adverse effect. We aimed to develop a well‐informed population pharmacokinetic/toxicodynamic (PK/TD) model using the largest polymyxin B‐treated critically ill patient population studied to inform polymyxin B ...

A rare association between crossed fused renal ectopia, urethral stricture, bilateral cryptorchidism, and sub-coronal hypospadias in a non-syndromic 6-year-old child

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023
Introduction: From asymptomatic ectopic kidneys to potentially fatal renal agenesis, congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) encompass a wide variety of anomalies (bilateral).
