Kidney microphysiological systems (MPS) serve as potentially valuable preclinical instruments in probing mechanisms of renal clearance and osmoregulation. Current kidney MPS models target regions of the nephron, such as the glomerulus and proximal tubule

Upregulation of Transglutaminase andε(γ-Glutamyl)-Lysine in the Fisher-Lewis Rat Model of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy [PDF]
Background. Tissue transglutaminase (TG2), a cross-linking enzyme, modulates deposition of extracellular matrix protein in renal fibrosis. This study aimed to examine TG2 and its cross-link product ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine in the Fisher-Lewis rat renal ...

MORPHOLOGICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL STUDY FOR THE KIDNEYS OF COOT BIRD ( Fulica atra ) [PDF]
Present study were carried out on ten adult males of coot bird, for determinate the histological structure of kidneys. The results were showed that each kidney consisted of three parts, a large cranial (mean of its length 28±0.15mm and its width13±0.08mm)

Pleiotropy as the Mechanism for Evolving Novelty: Same Signal, Different Result. [PDF]
In contrast to the probabilistic way of thinking about pleiotropy as the random expression of a single gene that generates two or more distinct phenotypic traits, it is actually a deterministic consequence of the evolution of complex physiology from the ...

Effect of Fluoxetine on Kidney of Albino Rats- A Histological Study [PDF]
Introduction: Fluoxetine and other Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are reported to produce hyponatremia especially in elderly patients. Aim: To evaluate histological changes in kidney tissue of albino rats by different doses of fluoxetine

The Kidney and Uremic Toxin Removal: Glomerulus or Tubule? [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition that affects approximately 10% of the adult population in developed countries. In patients with CKD adequate renal clearance is compromised, resulting in the accumulation of a plethora of uremic solutes.

A Personalized Glomerulus Chip Engineered from Stem Cell-Derived Epithelium and Vascular Endothelium
Progress in understanding kidney disease mechanisms and the development of targeted therapeutics have been limited by the lack of functional in vitro models that can closely recapitulate human physiological responses.
