A clinical study reported that Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medic (A. manihot), in the form of Huangkui capsule (HKC), combined with irbesartan (IRB) is an effective therapy for patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The bioactive components of HKC are total flavones extracted from A. manihot (TFA).

Renal phosphate handling in Gitelman syndrome—the results of a case-control study [PDF]
Background: Patients with Gitelman syndrome, a hereditary salt-wasting tubulopathy, have loss-of-function mutations in the SLC12A3 gene coding for the thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride co-transporter in the distal convoluted tubule.

Antagonistic regulation of parvalbumin expression and mitochondrial calcium handling capacity in renal epithelial cells [PDF]
Parvalbumin (PV) is a cytosolic Ca²⁺-binding protein acting as a slow-onset Ca²⁺ buffer modulating the shape of Ca²⁺ transients in fast-twitch muscles and a subpopulation of neurons. PV is also expressed in non-excitable cells including distal convoluted

Gene expression and functional annotation of the human and mouse choroid plexus epithelium [PDF]
Background: The choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) is a lobed neuro-epithelial structure that forms the outer blood-brain barrier. The CPE protrudes into the brain ventricles and produces the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is crucial for brain homeostasis.

Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing Delineates Renal Anti‐Fibrotic Mechanisms Mediated by TRPC6 Inhibition
Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals how TRPC6 inhibition alters renal cell composition and gene expression in CKD. The study uncovers a novel endothelial subpopulation (ECRIN), highlights key inflammatory and fibrotic pathways, and identifies a Prnp‐driven network linked to fibrosis resolution, offering mechanistic insight into TRPC6 as a potential ...
