Phases and Transitions in Phantom Nematic Elastomer Membranes [PDF]
, 2004 Motivated by recently discovered unusual properties of bulk nematic elastomers, we study a phase diagram of liquid-crystalline polymerized phantom membranes, focusing on in-plane nematic order.

Impact of Diabetic Stress Conditions on Renal Cell Metabolome
Cells, 2019 Diabetic kidney disease is a major complication in diabetes mellitus, and the most common reason for end-stage renal disease. Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus encounter glomerular damage by basement membrane thickening, and develop albuminuria ...

The corticotropin-releasing factor-like diuretic hormone 44 (DH44) and kinin neuropeptides modulate desiccation and starvation tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2016 Malpighian tubules are critical organs for epithelial fluid transport and stress tolerance in insects, and are under neuroendocrine control by multiple neuropeptides secreted by identified neurons. Here, we demonstrate roles for CRF-like diuretic hormone

Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1): a novel biomarker for human renal proximal tubule injury.
Kidney International, 2002 BACKGROUND Traditional blood and urine markers for the diagnosis of various renal diseases are insensitive and nonspecific. Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) is a type 1 transmembrane protein, with an immunoglobulin and mucin domain, whose expression is ...

Generation of proximal tubule spheroids for nephrotoxicity assessment [PDF]
Organoid, 2022 Background To date, nephrotoxicity in new drug development has been evaluated through two-dimensional culture of representative cell lines, such as HK-2 and human proximal tubule epithelial cells (hPTECs). Approximately 20% of new drugs that were safe in

Identification of Multiple Functional Receptors for Tyramine on an Insect Secretory Epithelium [PDF]
, 2017 The biogenic amine tyramine (TA) regulates many aspects of invertebrate physiology and development. Although three TA receptor subtypes have been identified (TAR1-3), specific receptors have not been linked to physiological responses in native tissue. In

Equine Hoof Wall Deformation: Novel Aspects Revealed
Small Structures, 2023 The equine hoof wall has a unique hierarchical structure that allows it to survive high‐impact scenarios. Previous authors have explored the compressive, viscoelastic, and fracture control properties of the hoof wall and suggested that this complex ...
