Advanced Science, EarlyView.The PS‐QRC nanoprobe employs L‐serine as a targeting ligand for kidney injury molecule‐1 (KIM‐1) to achieve accumulation in injured renal tissues. Upon activation by reactive oxygen species (ROS), it undergoes a self‐amplifying cascade to release fluorophores for near‐infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, enabling ultra‐early diagnosis of acute kidney ...

Human alpha defensin 5 expression in the human kidney and urinary tract.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe mechanisms that maintain sterility in the urinary tract are incompletely understood. Recent studies have implicated the importance of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) in protecting the urinary tract from infection.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Native postbiotics and paraprobiotics derived from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains were administered to dextran sulfate sodium–treated C57BL/6 mice to evaluate their impact on kidney inflammation via the gut–kidney axis. Histological analysis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction of autophagy‐related genes (atg5, atg7, atg12, atg13 ...

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Mouse metabolic and behavioral phenotypes are tightly linked to strain, age and disease state, with distinct dysregulation in each disease model, underscoring the need for standardized preclinical experimental conditions. Abstract Background Metabolic and behavioral traits in mice exhibit substantial variability across strains, ages, and disease states,

TGR5 expression in normal kidney and renal neoplasms
Diagnostic Pathology, 2018 Background The G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) is a cell surface receptor which induces the production of intracellular cAMP and promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition in gastric cancer cell lines.

FEBS Letters, 2006 Tight junction (TJ) constitutes the barrier by controlling the passage of ions and molecules via paracellular pathway and the movement of proteins and lipids between apical and basolateral domains of the plasma membrane. Claudins, occludin, and junctional adhesion molecules are the major three transmembrane proteins at TJ.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The organization and function of reptilian excurrent ducts remain poorly characterized, particularly in Neotropical snakes. We provide the first integrative morphological, histochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural analysis of the proximal post‐testicular ducts of Crotalus durissus across reproductive stages.
