Negative anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody status at three months predicts remission in primary membranous nephropathy [PDF]
Background The value of anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody (anti-PLA2R ab) monitoring at 3 months after diagnosis in membranous nephropathy (MN) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively examined the outcome on 1 August 2020 of 59 adult patients

Hypercholesterolemia Correlates With Glomerular Phospholipase A2 Receptor Deposit and Serum Anti-Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody and Predicts Proteinuria Outcome in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
BackgroundThe anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody is a non-invasive diagnostic tool and prognosis predictor of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). Baseline hypercholesterolemia independently predicts proteinuria outcomes in IMN patients.

Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies directly induced podocyte damage in vitro [PDF]
Background The pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (MN) involves the antibodies against antigens on the cell surface of podocytes, with the majority of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), and a profound podocyte dysfunction.

Introduction Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is associated with the anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R) antibody in 70% of cases. Some anti-PLA2R-negative patients have the PLA2R antigen in renal tissue.

Astrocytes mediate neurovascular signaling to capillary pericytes but not to arterioles [PDF]
Active neurons increase their energy supply by dilating nearby arterioles and capillaries. This neurovascular coupling underlies blood oxygen level-dependent functional imaging signals, but its mechanism is controversial.
