Bioengineered Cystinotic Kidney Tubules Recapitulate a Nephropathic Phenotype [PDF]
Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare and severe disease caused by disruptions in the CTNS gene. Cystinosis is characterized by lysosomal cystine accumulation, vesicle trafficking impairment, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Additionally, cystinotic patients

ARGENTAFFIN GRANULES IN TOAD KIDNEY TUBULES [PDF]
A considerable amount of argentaffin granules was localised in the proximal tubules of the toad kidney. While they were found to give argentaffin, metal chelating and alkaline azo coupling reactions in keeping with the general characteristics of the chromaffin cells, the chromaffin and Gibbs reactions could not be obtained.

On changes in the glomeruli and tubules of the kidney accompanying activity [PDF]
The experiments described in this paper were designed to test the correctness of the view put forward by one of us, namely, that the glomerulus is a propulsor. If this view be correct, the marked dilatation of the tubules, which is so prominent a feature in a kidney after active diuresis, is simply the expression of the forcible distension of the ...

Kidney tubules: intertubular, vascular, and glomerular cross-talk. [PDF]
The kidney mediates the excretion or conservation of water and electrolytes in the face of changing fluid and salt intake and losses. To ultrafilter and reabsorb the exact quantities of free water and salts to maintain euvolemia a range of endocrine, paracrine, and hormonal signaling systems have evolved linking the tubules, capillaries, glomeruli ...
