KLOTHO methylation is linked to uremic toxins and chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Epigenetic regulation plays a major role in uremic toxin-induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. The KLOTHO protein is a key modulator of homeostasis in renal function.

Developmental immunolocalization of the Klotho protein in mouse kidney epithelial cells
A defect in Klotho gene expression in the mouse results in a syndrome that resembles rapid human aging. In this study, we investigated the detailed distribution and the time of the first appearance of Klotho in developing and adult mouse kidney. Kidneys from 16-(F16), 18-(F18) and 20-day-old (F20) fetuses, 1- (P1), 4- (P4), 7- (P7), 14- (P14), and 21 ...

Identification and characterization of an inhibitory fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) molecule, up-regulated in an Apert Syndrome mouse model [PDF]
AS (Apert syndrome) is a congenital disease composed of skeletal, visceral and neural abnormalities, caused by dominant-acting mutations in FGFR2 [FGF (fibroblast growth factor) receptor 2].

New Pathogenic Concepts and Therapeutic Approaches to Oxidative Stress in Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]
In chronic kidney disease inflammatory processes and stimulation of immune cells result in overproduction of free radicals. In combination with a reduced antioxidant capacity this causes oxidative stress.

Soluble Klotho protein as a novel serum biomarker in patients with acromegaly
Acromegaly is a chronic disease caused by overproduction of growth hormone, in most cases due to excessive secretion from a pituitary adenoma [1, 2]. The incidence of acromegaly is approximately 5 cases per million per year, and the prevalence is estimated to be about 60 cases per million [3].

On the relationship between proteinuria and plasma phosphate. [PDF]
Albuminuria is strongly associated with renal and cardiovascular outcomes independently of renal function level. However, the pathophysiology of these associations is debated.
