Human asthenozoospermia: Update on genetic causes, patient management, and clinical strategies

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and ...

Stem cells and fluid flow drive cyst formation in an invertebrate excretory organ.

open access: yes, 2015
Cystic kidney diseases (CKDs) affect millions of people worldwide. The defining pathological features are fluid-filled cysts developing from nephric tubules due to defective flow sensing, cell proliferation and differentiation.

Simultaneous Ex Situ Normothermic Perfusion of Paired Kidneys in Pigs

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This pig model of simultaneous perfusion of paired kidneys in normothermia suggests that intra‐individual variation is relatively low, enabling one kidney to be employed as a reliable comparator of the other kidney for assessing treatments before kidney transplantation.

Advancing antihypertensive drug development

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Hypertension affects more than a billion individuals worldwide and remains a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in therapies, optimal blood pressure control remains elusive for many patients because of treatment resistance, adverse effects, and adherence challenges.

Lactate and Lactylation in AKI‐to‐CKD: Epigenetic Regulation and Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lactate is not only a byproduct of glycolysis, but is also considered an energy source, gluconeogenic precursor, signalling molecule and protein modifier during the process of cellular metabolism. The discovery of lactylation reveals the multifaceted functions of lactate in cellular metabolism and opens new avenues for lactate‐related research.

Developments in albuminuria testing: A key biomarker for detection, prognosis and surveillance of kidney and cardiovascular disease—A practical update for clinicians

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Albuminuria, the abnormal presence of albumin in urine, is a key marker of kidney damage and a strong predictor of kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. Its clinical significance has evolved from early historical observations to its current role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) detection, risk stratification and treatment monitoring.
