Diagnostic Role of N-Acetyl-β-D-Glucosaminidase as an Early Marker of Kidney Damage

Počki, 2016
In many diseases of the kidneys, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) in the urine is excreted in large quantities. A significant increase in NAG activity is observed at the primary and secondary kidney damage, heavy metal poisoning, kidney transplantation,

Mechanical Instabilities of Biological Tubes

, 2012
We study theoretically the shapes of biological tubes affected by various pathologies. When epithelial cells grow at an uncontrolled rate, the negative tension produced by their division provokes a buckling instability.
