A systems-biology approach to understanding the ciliopathy disorders. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
'Ciliopathies' are an emerging class of genetic multisystemic human disorders that are caused by a multitude of largely unrelated genes that affect ciliary structure/function.

Fluorinated Zirconium‐Based Metal‐Organic Frameworks as Novel Sorbents to Improve the Efficacy of Hemodialysis Treatment

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
The incorporation of perfluoroalkyl chains into porous NU‐1000 leads to superior performance in the removal of uremic toxins from samples of CKD patients for two main reasons: improved stability and enhanced removal efficiency of protein‐bound toxins.

3D Kidneys and Kidney Tumor Semantic Segmentation using Boundary-Aware Networks [PDF]

open access: yesMICCAI Kidney Tumor Segmentation Challenge 2019, 2019
Automated segmentation of kidneys and kidney tumors is an important step in quantifying the tumor's morphometrical details to monitor the progression of the disease and accurately compare decisions regarding the kidney tumor treatment. Manual delineation techniques are often tedious, error-prone and require expert knowledge for creating unambiguous ...

Impact of barometric pressure on blood pressure during dialysis: Introducing intradialytic time‐averaged cumulative systolic blood pressure (TACsBP‐inD) as a new metric

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 525-534, June 2025.
Abstract Background Blood pressure is a crucial risk factor for hemodialysis patients, but the specific impact of weather factors, particularly barometric pressure, on blood pressure remains unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between barometric pressure and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. Methods We conducted a single‐center,

Human asthenozoospermia: Update on genetic causes, patient management, and clinical strategies

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and ...

Apoptosis in polycystic kidney disease

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2011
Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. It is a ubiquitous, controlled process consuming cellular energy and designed to avoid cytokine release despite activation of local immune cells, which clear the cell fragments. The process occurs during organ development and in maintenance of homeostasis.

Rationale and design of the RESOLVE trial: lanreotide as a volume reducing treatment for polycystic livers in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

open access: yesBMC Nephrology, 2012
Background A large proportion of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) suffers from polycystic liver disease. Symptoms arise when liver volume increases.
