Enhancer and super-enhancer dynamics in repair after ischemic acute kidney injury
Nature Communications, 2020 Acute kidney injury is a major health problem amongst hospitalized patients. Here the authors provide a comprehensive characterization of enhancer and super-enhancer elements, and the transcription factor motifs associated with these elements in response

Signaling pathways involved in renal oxidative injury: role of the vasoactive peptides and the renal dopaminergic system [PDF]
, 2014 The physiological hydroelectrolytic balance and the redox steady state in the kidney are accomplished by an intricate interaction between signals from extrarenal and intrarenal sources and between antinatriuretic and natriuretic factors.

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary vasa recta diameter via pericyte cells: a role for regulating medullary blood flow? [PDF]
, 2013 Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins.

Renal Physiology in Pregnancy [PDF]
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1979 Summary The changes which occur in renal excretory function during pregnancy are discussed. The relationship between glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow is examined in the light of new serial data obtained under conditions of saline diuresis.

High‐salt intake reduces renal tissue levels of inflammatory cytokines in mice
Physiological Reports, 2021 High salt (HS) intake is usually considered as an aggravating factor to induce inflammatory renal injury. However, the changes in the renal levels of inflammatory cytokines during HS intake is not yet clearly defined.
