This study developed a fucoside‐targeted gold nanocluster probe that enables early NIR‐II imaging and multi‐mechanistic therapy for acute kidney injury, effectively mitigating oxidative stress, modulating inflammatory responses, and inhibiting ferroptosis to improve renal outcomes. Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a life‐threatening condition

PPARγ maintains the metabolic heterogeneity and homeostasis of renal tubulesResearch in context
Background: The renal tubules, which have distant metabolic features and functions in different segments, reabsorb >99% of approximately 180 l of water and 25,000 mmol of Na + daily.

Regulatory agencies request the assessment of the potential of new drugs to cause transporter‐mediated drug‐drug interactions (DDI). This assessment can be improved by integrating endogenous biomarkers during drug development. Regarding the renal excretion of drugs such as metformin, the organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 and multidrug and toxin ...

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

BMP-7 Protein Expression Is Downregulated in Human Diabetic Nephropathy
Bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) is expressed in all parts of the normal kidney parenchyma, being highest in the epithelium of proximal tubules. It protects kidney against acute and chronic injury, inflammation and fibrosis.

Expression of metallothionein in renal tubules of rats exposed to acute and endurance exercise.
The induction of exercise-induced apoptosis in not actively involved in exercise organs, such as kidney could be a result of oxidative stress. Metallothionein (MT) exerts a protective effect in the cell against oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Endocytic adaptation to functional demand by the kidney proximal tubule
AbstractThe kidney proximal tubule (PT) efficiently recovers the low level of albumin and other proteins that normally escape the glomerular filtration barrier. Two large receptors, megalin and cubilin/amnionless (CUBAM), bind to and efficiently retrieve these predominantly low molecular‐weight proteins via clathrin‐mediated endocytosis.

Abstract Sodium‐glucose co‐transporters (SGLTs) mediate sodium and glucose transport across cell membranes. SGLT2 inhibitors have a recognized place within heart failure (HF) guidelines. We evaluated the effect of sotagliflozin on HF and cardiovascular outcomes in participants with type 2 diabetes. Scopus, Medline, Embase and Central were searched from

Impact of gender in early structural changes of contrast induced nephropathy in rats
Introduction: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a major iatrogenic cause of acute kidney injury. Experimental studies have shown that intravascular injection causes intense vacuolization of the contrast agent in the proximal renal tubules cells ...
