The polycystic kidney disease 1 gene encodes a 14 kb transcript and lies within a duplicated region on chromosome 16 [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder that frequently results in renal fallure due to progressive cyst development. The major locus, PKD1, maps to 16p13.3.

ABSTRACT Background Tolvaptan promotes electrolyte‐free water excretion and is widely used in Asia for ascites, but in Western countries its use is limited to hyponatremia because of hepatotoxicity concerns. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Research Network, emulating a target trial of cirrhotic patients with ...

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

Research advances in the applications of mitochondria‐targeted cyanine dyes in imaging
Near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, a novel non‐invasive diagnostic tool, plays a crucial role in the imaging and monitoring of solid tumors. At its core are NIR fluorescent dyes, which are widely utilized due to their ability to minimize tissue autofluorescence interference, thereby significantly enhancing the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and ...

Hepatic Cyst Infection During Use of the Somatostatin Analog Lanreotide in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: An Interim Analysis of the Randomized Open-Label Multicenter DIPAK-1 Study [PDF]
Introduction and Aims: The DIPAK-1 Study investigates the reno- and hepatoprotective efficacy of the somatostatin analog lanreotide compared with standard care in patients with later stage autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). During this

We found key differences between tuberous sclerosis patients with TSC1 and TSC2 variants. Patients carrying TSC2 variants had more severe and earlier‐onset symptoms. We also identified two distinct clinical subgroups which follow different disease courses: one characterized by predominant renal involvement and the other by more pronounced neurological ...

Building a network of ADPKD reference centres across Europe: the EuroCYST initiative [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic inherited kidney disease, affecting an estimated 600 000 individuals in Europe. The disease is characterized by age-dependent development of a multiple cysts in
