Genetic screen in Drosophila muscle identifies autophagy-mediated T-tubule remodeling and a Rab2 role in autophagy. [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Transverse (T)-tubules make-up a specialized network of tubulated muscle cell membranes involved in excitation-contraction coupling for power of contraction. Little is known about how T-tubules maintain highly organized structures and contacts throughout

Exosomal GAPDH from Proximal Tubule Cells Regulate ENaC Activity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Exosomes are nanometer-scale, cell-derived vesicles that contain various molecules including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. These vesicles can release their cargo into adjacent or distant cells and mediate intercellular communication and cellular ...

Distal Convoluted Tubule [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2014
The distal convoluted tubule is the nephron segment that lies immediately downstream of the macula densa. Although short in length, the distal convoluted tubule plays a critical role in sodium, potassium, and divalent cation homeostasis. Recent genetic and physiologic studies have greatly expanded our understanding of how the distal convoluted tubule ...

miR-127 protects proximal tubule cells against ischemia/reperfusion : identification of Kinesin family member 3B as miR-127 target [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is at the basis of renal transplantation and acute kidney injury. Molecular mechanisms underlying proximal tubule response to I/R will allow the identification of new therapeutic targets for both clinical settings.

Early renal structural changes and potential biomarkers in diabetic nephropathy

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, with increasing prevalence and mortality. Currently, renal function is assessed clinically using albumin excretion rate and glomerular filtration rate.

The origin of T-tubules

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Ring-like structures made up of caveolae appear to drive the development of membrane invaginations called T-tubules which are important for muscle contraction.

The Promise of Tubule Biomarkers in Kidney Disease: A Review.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2021
For over 70 years, serum creatinine has remained the primary index for detection and monitoring of kidney disease. Tubulo-interstitial damage and fibrosis are highly prognostic for subsequent kidney failure in biopsy studies, yet this pathology is ...
