TREM2 in Macrophages Promotes Renal Fibrosis via Activation of β‐Catenin Signalling Pathway in Obstructive Nephropathy

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) promotes obstructive nephropathy progression by activating the β‐catenin signalling pathway, driving M2 macrophage polarisation, migration and fibrogenic gene expression. targeted inhibition of TREM2 thus represents a promising novel strategy against renal fibrosis.

Increased serum amyloid A and urinary kidney injury marker‐1 concentrations in cats with pyelonephritis: a diagnostic accuracy study

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To investigate the discriminatory potential of serum amyloid A, neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio, monocyte:lymphocyte ratio and assess renal tubular injury in cats with pyelonephritis. Materials and Methods Diagnostic accuracy study using samples from prospectively enrolled cats and stored material.

TREATMENT WITH TAMSULOSIN IN PATIENTS WITH DISTAL URETERALCALCULI

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2008
BACKGROUND Symptomatic ureteral calculi are one of the most important issues in urologist emergencyclinical settings. Spontaneous passage of distal ureteral calculi is usually achieved withgood hydration and spasmoanalgetic drugs.

Comparison between ultrasound and noncontrast helical computed tomography for identification of acute ureterolithiasis in a teaching hospital setting

São Paulo Medical Journal, 2007
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have shown noncontrast computed tomography (NCT) to be more effective than ultrasound (US) for imaging acute ureterolithiasis.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Differentiating the Clinical and Variant Spectrum of Hardikar Syndrome From Other MED12 ‐Related Developmental Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 7, Page 1619-1650, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The rare X‐linked female‐restricted Hardikar syndrome (HDKR, OMIM # 301068) is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including orofacial clefts, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiac anomalies, but cognitive and neurobehavioral development is rarely impaired.

Homozygous Loss‐of‐Function Variant in SLC20A1 Coding for Ubiquitous Phosphate Transporter PiT1 Is Associated With Multiple Developmental Abnormalities

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 64-72, July 2026.
Biallelic SLC20A1 loss‐of‐function variant causes a previously unrecognized multisystem developmental disorder. We report the first homozygous case presenting with tetralogy of Fallot, renal agenesis, polydactyly, and growth impairment. Transcriptome analysis of patient‐derived fibroblasts suggests significant dysregulation of pathways critical for ...

Compartment‐Specific Immune Remodeling of Renal Aging With C1q‐Associated Podocyte Activation

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Aging repatterns the renal immune response in a compartment‐specific manner, distinct from chronic kidney disease (CKD) adaptation. Glomerular aging features C1q‐associated podocyte activation and macrophage engagement, whereas tubulointerstitial aging is marked by B‐cell aggregation and tertiary lymphoid structure expansion.
