Baseline characteristics of the Korean genetic cohort of inherited cystic kidney disease [PDF]
Background Identifying genetic mutations in individuals with inherited cystic kidney disease is necessary for precise treatment. We aimed to elucidate the genetic characteristics of cystic kidney disease in the Korean population. Methods We conducted a 3-

p21 is decreased in polycystic kidney disease and leads to increased epithelial cell cycle progression: roscovitine augments p21 levels. [PDF]
BackgroundAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disease with few treatment options other than renal replacement therapy. p21, a cyclin kinase inhibitor which has pleiotropic effects on the cell cycle, in many cases acts

Magnetic resonance imaging 3t and total fibrotic volume in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common renal hereditary disorder. Several authors have attempted to identify a kidney damage marker for predicting the prognosis and the effectiveness of therapy in ADPKD ...

MicroRNAs and Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the most common genetic cause of chronic renal failure, is characterized by the presence of numerous fluid-filled cysts in renal parenchyma. Despite recent progress, no FDA-approved therapy is available to retard cyst growth.

Embracing Sex-specific Differences in Engineered Kidney Models for Enhanced Biological Understanding [PDF]
In vitro models play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of biological processes, disease mechanisms, and developing screening platforms for drug discovery. Kidneys play an instrumental role in transport and elimination of drugs and toxins.

A key feature of the polycystic kidney diseases is aberrant cell proliferation, a consequence of dysfunctional ciliary signaling. The NIMA-related kinases (Nek) Nek1 and Nek8 carry the causal mutations of two of the eight established mouse models of ...
