The Many Faces of Matrix Metalloproteinase-7 in Kidney Diseases

Biomolecules, 2020
Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) is a secreted zinc-dependent endopeptidase that is implicated in regulating kidney homeostasis and diseases. MMP-7 is produced as an inactive zymogen, and proteolytic cleavage is required for its activation.

Loss of Renal Tubular PGC-1α Exacerbates Diet-Induced Renal Steatosis and Age-Related Urinary Sodium Excretion in Mice [PDF]

, 2016
The kidney has a high energy demand and is dependent on oxidative metabolism for ATP production. Accordingly, the kidney is rich in mitochondria, and mitochondrial dysfunction is a common denominator for several renal diseases.

Invisible but not inaccessible—Revealing transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins with solution NMR and complementary methods

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

MSCs-derived HGF alleviates senescence by inhibiting unopposed mitochondrial fusion-based elongation in post-acute kidney injury

Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Background The underlying mechanism of human umbilical-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) therapy for renal senescence in post-acute kidney injury (post-AKI) remains unclear.

Stem cells: a potential treatment option for kidney diseases

Stem cell research & therapeutics, 2020
The prevalence of kidney diseases is emerging as a public health problem. Stem cells (SCs), currently considered as a promising tool for therapeutic application, have aroused considerable interest and expectations.

The prevalence and identification of chronic kidney disease in Switzerland [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function. Patients in early CKD stages are often asymptomatic or show non-specific symptoms.

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Braden score for early mortality risk assessment in critically ill intensive care patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome 

Scientific Reports
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the simultaneous or sequential dysfunction of two or more organs. This condition can result in prolonged hospital stays, high in-hospital mortality rates, and an increased
