Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Aims Stem cell‐derived islets (SC‐islets) offer the potential to revolutionise type 1 diabetes treatment. However, functional maturation in vivo is variable, suggesting that specific, but as‐yet undefined, environmental cues are critical. We aimed to identify pathways associated with SC‐islet in vivo maturation in mice, assess early functional

Histopathology, EarlyView.This study supports the need for ancillary testing to diagnose ESC‐RCC versus TFEB‐amplified RCC, as neither morphology nor immunohistochemistry is sufficiently specific to distinguish these entities. The underlying molecular drivers in each tumour are pathogenic TSC1 or TSC2 gene variants in ESC‐RCC and TFEB gene amplification in TFEB‐amplified RCC ...

All in the family: Kidney donation in aging Japan
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the ethical and cultural logics shaping living donor kidney transplantation in Japan, where donation is restricted to kin and deceased donation remains rare. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a Tokyo‐area hospital, it analyzes how Japan's kin‐based transplantation regime contrasts with the utilitarian model dominant in

Treatment of Recurrent Giant Angiomyolipoma After Nephrectomy with Selective Arterial Embolization: A Case Report [PDF]
Angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are mesenchymal tumors that typically originate from the kidneys and contain smooth muscle cells, fat cells, and blood vessels. They are usually benign in nature but can be fatal due to complications. AMLs almost always involve the
