Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

Effect of grape seed and flaxseed oils on kidney and testicular tissue in male rabbits exposed to tramadol-induced oxidative stress

Tikrit Journal of Pure Science
The study aimed to determine how tramadol affects oxidative stress and how flaxseed Oil (FSO) and grape seed oil (GSO) can enhance the biological functions of testicular and renal tissues in male rabbits exposed to tramadol-induced oxidative stress. The

Comparative Physiology of the Renal Proximal Tubule

Kidney and Blood Pressure Research, 1985
The comparative physiology of the renal proximal tubule (PT) is reviewed in the context of vertebrate evolution and vertebrate strategies of salt and water balance. Though extrarenal machanisms of salt and water balance contribute importantly to extracellular fluid (ECF) homeostasis in the lower vertebrates, the kidney acquires these functions with ...

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Meta‐analysis of sotagliflozin, a dual sodium‐glucose‐cotransporter 1/2 inhibitor, for heart failure in type 2 diabetes

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 968-979, April 2025.
Abstract Sodium‐glucose co‐transporters (SGLTs) mediate sodium and glucose transport across cell membranes. SGLT2 inhibitors have a recognized place within heart failure (HF) guidelines. We evaluated the effect of sotagliflozin on HF and cardiovascular outcomes in participants with type 2 diabetes. Scopus, Medline, Embase and Central were searched from

Crosstalk with renal proximal tubule cells drives acidosis-induced inflammatory response and dedifferentiation of fibroblasts via p38-singaling

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background Tubulointerstitial kidney disease associated microenvironmental dysregulation, like acidification, inflammation and fibrosis, affects tubule cells and fibroblasts.

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Low potassium activation of proximal mTOR/AKT signaling is mediated by Kir4.2

Nature Communications
The renal epithelium is sensitive to changes in blood potassium (K+). We identify the basolateral K+ channel, Kir4.2, as a mediator of the proximal tubule response to K+ deficiency.

The proximal tubule in the pathophysiology of the diabetic kidney

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2011
Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. A better understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in the early changes of the diabetic kidney may permit the development of new strategies to prevent diabetic nephropathy. This review focuses on the proximal tubule in the early diabetic kidney, particularly on its exposure and

Metabolic abnormalities and reprogramming in cats with naturally occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1256-1270, April 2025.
Abstract Background and aims The heart is a metabolic organ rich in mitochondria. The failing heart reprograms to utilize different energy substrates, which increase its oxygen consumption. These adaptive changes contribute to increased oxidative stress.
