Albumin uptake in human podocytes: a possible role for the cubilin-amnionless (CUBAM) complex [PDF]
, 2017 Albumin re-uptake is a receptor-mediated pathway located in renal proximal tubuli. There is increasing evidence of glomerular protein handling by podocytes, but little is known about the mechanism behind this process.

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The novelty of this study showed that the injection of exosomes produced from ADMSCs in combination with Roflumilast poses a more favorable therapeutic outcome for CKD induced by Adriamycin, compared to therapy with exosomes or Roflumilast alone. Roflumilast and exosomes treatment lowered the expression of the apoptotic, fibrotic, and inflammatory ...

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to

Differential toxicities of triptolide to immortalized podocytes and the podocytes in vivo
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2019 Triptolide (TP) has an anti-proteinuric effect and is used for the treatment of podocytopathies. TP has also been shown to act directly on immortalized podocytes in culture to protect them from injury. In the present study, we examined the effect of TP on healthy podocytes both in vitro and in vivo to better understand the action of TP on podocytes. We

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A simplified, co‐culture‐free protocol for kidney organoids that generate segmented nephrons, including collecting ducts, has been developed. Early low‐dose RA with FGF9 induces balanced anterior–posterior IM patterning and dual UE/MM lineage commitment. BMP7 enhances nephron progenitor maturation.

Everolimus Stabilizes Podocyte Microtubules via Enhancing TUBB2B and DCDC2 Expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Glomerular podocytes are highly differentiated cells that are key components of the kidney filtration units. The podocyte cytoskeleton builds the basis for the dynamic podocyte cytoarchitecture and plays a central role for proper podocyte function ...

Identification of novel molecular signatures of IgA nephropathy through an integrative -omics analysis [PDF]
, 2017 IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent among primary glomerular diseases worldwide. Although our understanding of IgAN has advanced significantly, its underlying biology and potential drug targets are still unexplored.

Developmental Hypoxia Enhances Kidney Organoid Complexity and Maturity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The current bottleneck in metanephric mesenchyme (MM)‐derived nephron organoid development is the absence of a connected network of collecting ducts (CD) derived from the ureteric bud (UB). To address this limitation, this study proposes a hypoxia‐based differentiation method that mimics the natural renal developmental environment, enabling the ...
