A Multitubular Kidney-on-Chip to Decipher Pathophysiological Mechanisms in Renal Cystic Diseases
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a major renal pathology provoked by the deletion of PKD1 or PKD2 genes leading to local renal tubule dilation followed by the formation of numerous cysts, ending up with renal failure in adulthood ...

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary vasa recta diameter via pericyte cells: a role for regulating medullary blood flow? [PDF]
Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins.

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.

A biomimetic kidney tubule model
A critical barrier in the nephrology field is the lack of appropriate in vitro renal tubule models that allow manipulation of various mechanical factors, facilitating studies of disease pathophysiology and drug discovery. Here we report development of a novel in vitro assay system comprised of a renal tubule within an elasto-plastic extracellular ...
