Alterations in lysosomal enzymes of the proximal tubule in gentamicin nephrotoxicity [PDF]
Alterations in lysosomal enzymes of the proximal tubule in gentamicin nephrotoxicity. Gentamicin accumulates in proximal tubule lysosomes, increases their number, and changes their structure.

Proximal renal tubular acidosis with and without Fanconi syndrome
Proximal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is caused by a defect in bicarbonate (HCO3−) reabsorption in the kidney proximal convoluted tubule. It usually manifests as normal anion-gap metabolic acidosis due to HCO3− wastage.

Potential and Limits of Kidney Cells for Evaluation of Renal Excretion
A large number of therapeutic drugs, herbal components and their metabolites are excreted by the kidneys. Therefore, generally applied models for estimating renal excretion, including freshly isolated rat proximal tubule cells, cultured tubule cells and ...

Anomalous elasticity in nematic and smectic elastomer tubule [PDF]
We study anomalous elasticity in the tubule phases of nematic and smectic elastomer membranes, which are flat in one direction and crumpled in another. These phases share the same macroscopic symmetry properties including spontaneously-broken in-plane isotropy and hence belong to the same universality class.

BACKGROUND Sustained activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) in proximal tubule cells is a hallmark of progressive kidney fibrosis after AKI and in CKD. However, the molecular mechanisms and particular EGFR ligands involved are unknown.

Segment-specific expression of 2P domain potassium channel genes in human nephron. [PDF]
BackgroundThe 2P domain potassium (K2P) channels are a recently discovered ion channel superfamily. Structurally, K2P channels are distinguished by the presence of two pore forming loops within one channel subunit. Functionally, they are characterized by

Membrane tubulation by elongated and patchy nanoparticles [PDF]
Advances in nanotechnology lead to an increasing interest in how nanoparticles interact with biomembranes. Nanoparticles are wrapped spontaneously by biomembranes if the adhesive interactions between the particles and membranes compensate for the cost of membrane bending.

Adaptive changes in GFR, tubular morphology, and transport in subtotal nephrectomized kidneys: modeling and analysis [PDF]
Removal of renal mass stimulates anatomical and functional adaptations in the surviving nephrons, including elevations in single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and tubular hypertrophy. A goal of this study is to assess the extent to which the

Design Engineering of a Bioartificial Renal Tubule Cell Therapy Device
The use of a bioartificial renal tubule device composed of renal proximal tubule cells grown within a hollow fiber cartridge is a first step in engineering a bioartificial kidney to provide more complete replacement therapy of renal function than is ...

Self-assembly of Chiral Tubules [PDF]
The efficient and controlled assembly of complex structures from macromolecular building blocks is a critical open question in both biological systems and nanoscience. Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the self-assembly of tubular structures from model macromolecular monomers with multiple binding sites on their surfaces [Cheng et al., Soft
