Changes in renal WT-1 expression preceding hypertension development [PDF]
Background: Hypertension is a public health problem with mostly unknown causes, and where strong hereditary genetic alterations have not been fully elucidated. However, the use of experimental models has provided valuable information.

Morfometría de cortes histológicos de los túbulos renales normales en una muestra de humanos adultos
Fundamento: los túbulos renales normales se han descrito por morfometría, lo que permite “reconstruir” en tercera dimensión la forma y el tamaño del espécimen estudiado.Objetivo: caracterizar la magnitud de los túbulos renales normales en humanos adultos,

Elasticity, Shape Fluctuations and Phase Transitions in the New Tubule Phase of Anisotropic Tethered Membranes [PDF]
We study the shape, elasticity and fluctuations of the recently predicted (cond-mat/9510172) and subsequently observed (in numerical simulations) (cond-mat/9705059) tubule phase of anisotropic membranes, as well as the phase transitions into and out of it.

Isoquercitrin Alleviates Diabetic Nephropathy by Inhibiting STAT3 Phosphorylation and Dimerization
This study identified a natural compound, isoquercitrin, which significantly alleviated kidney inflammation and fibrosis by inhibiting STAT3 activity. Isoquercitrin forms a strong, noncovalent bond that directly binds to STAT3. Isoquercitrin binds to the pY+1 pocket of the SH2 domain of STAT3 via hydrogen bonding with Ser668, Gln635, and Gln633 ...

Theory of Cylindrical Tubules and Helical Ribbons of Chiral Lipid Membranes [PDF]
We present a general theory for the equilibrium structure of cylindrical tubules and helical ribbons of chiral lipid membranes. This theory is based on a continuum elastic free energy that permits variations in the direction of molecular tilt and in the curvature of the membrane.

A technique to reduce fixation artifacts to kidney proximal tubules
The preservation of proximal tubules in a state most closely resembling their in vivo morphology requires careful attention to fixation procedures. Conventional excision-immersion fixation is known to result in swelling of the cells lining proximal tubules and the obliteration of proximal tubule lumens with microvilli and cellular debris [1–3 ...

Solvent drag measurement of transcellular and basolateral membrane NaCl reflection coefficient in kidney proximal tubule. [PDF]
The NaCl reflection coefficient in proximal tubule has important implications for the mechanisms of near isosmotic volume reabsorption. A new fluorescence method was developed and applied to measure the transepithelial (sigma NaClTE) and basolateral ...

Segment-specific expression of 2P domain potassium channel genes in human nephron. [PDF]
BackgroundThe 2P domain potassium (K2P) channels are a recently discovered ion channel superfamily. Structurally, K2P channels are distinguished by the presence of two pore forming loops within one channel subunit. Functionally, they are characterized by
