Expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in Mouse Renal Tubules during Kidney Development [PDF]
Bcl-2 and Bax play an important role in apoptosis regulation, as well as in cell adhesion and migration during kidney morphogenesis, which is structurally and functionally related to mitochondria.

Proximal tubular deletion of superoxide dismutase-2 reveals disparate effects on kidney function in diabetes. [PDF]
There is a large body of evidence implicating mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and oxidative stress in the development of diabetic kidney disease and the deficiency of mitochondrial antioxidant systems in the kidney, such as ...

mutation: a benign genetic cause of proteinuria? [PDF]
Proteinuria is an important risk factor for renal and cardiovascular disease. It is associated with a risk for glomerulonephritis, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease.

TNF-α induces Claudin-1 expression in renal tubules in Alport mice
Claudin-1 (CL-1) is responsible for the paracellular barrier function of glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PEC) in kidneys, but the role of CL-1 in proximal tubules remains to be elucidated.

Stx2 Induces Differential Gene Expression and Disturbs Circadian Rhythm Genes in the Proximal Tubule
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) causes proximal tubular defects in the kidney. However, factors altered by Shiga toxin (Stx) within the proximal tubules are yet to be shown.

Bioengineered Cystinotic Kidney Tubules Recapitulate a Nephropathic Phenotype
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

Terabyte-scale supervised 3D training and benchmarking dataset of the mouse kidney [PDF]
The performance of machine learning algorithms, when used for segmenting 3D biomedical images, does not reach the level expected based on results achieved with 2D photos. This may be explained by the comparative lack of high-volume, high-quality training datasets, which require state-of-the-art imaging facilities, domain experts for annotation and ...

Heat-shock mediated overexpression of HNF1β mutations has differential effects on gene expression in the Xenopus pronephric kidney. [PDF]
The transcription factor HNF1B, encoded by the TCF2 gene, plays an important role in the organogenesis of vertebrates. In humans, heterozygous mutations of HNF1B are associated with several diseases, such as pancreatic β-cell dysfunction leading to ...
