Piezo1‐Mediated Mechanotransduction: Orchestrating the Dynamic Response of Podocytes and Parietal Epithelial Cells to Mechanical Stress

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The glomerulus is a specialized microvascular unit that filters plasma through the coordinated function of podocytes and parietal epithelial cells (PECs). From this perspective, the glomerulus functions like a living hydrogeological filtration system.

Organ Donation After Medical Aid in Dying: An Ethical Overview

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 350-358, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Organ Donation after Medical Aid in Dying (OD‐MAiD) is currently practised in four countries: Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, and Spain. While OD‐MAiD shares some similarities with MAiD (absent the possibility of organ donation) and with standard organ donation protocols, the combination of OD and MAiD involves unique circumstances that ...

Deep learning‐enhanced 3D imaging unveils semaglutide impact on cardiac fibrosis

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 5, Page 1030-1047, March 2026.
Background and Purpose Myocardial fibrosis (MF), a hallmark of structural cardiac remodelling, drives disease progression across most forms of heart failure and plays a central role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Despite its clinical relevance, effective treatments remain scarce.

Alemtuzumab Induction in Septuagenarians Undergoing Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation

Clinical Transplantation, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The anti‐CD52 monoclonal antibody alemtuzumab is used as an induction agent in kidney transplantation (KT) but remains understudied in septuagenarian recipients. The study purpose was to analyze the safety and efficacy of single‐dose alemtuzumab induction in septuagenarian deceased donor (DD) KT recipients.

Long‐acting insulin analogues and the risk of diabetic nephropathy among patients with type 2 diabetes: A population‐based cohort study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 2113-2122, March 2026.
Abstract Aims The risk of diabetic nephropathy among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be reduced through optimal glycaemic control. It is not known if the pharmacological properties of long‐acting insulin analogues may reduce the risk of diabetic complications compared with neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin.
