[21] Many other cells can be seen in urine and are of variable clinical significance. Renal tubule epithelial cells can be oval to columnar in shape, depending on the segment of the tubule they ...

evaluated the effect on mortality of adding extracorporeal tubule cell therapy to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for patients with acute kidney injury. Critically ill adults with ...

Nearly three decades later, drug makers have developed six approved small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics in the ...

which occur when the kidney’s densely-packed tubules bump into one another. “Imagine being in an elevator and the elevator’s ...

Discover a study where researchers have explored the potential of using cell-free RNA in urine as a noninvasive biomarker for ...

This is a reconstitution of renal tubules by propagated nephron progenitors derived from human iPS cells. Green: proximal tubules, Red: distal tubules. Scale bar: 20 µm Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

and fecal excretion of oxalate has not been observed in humans The kidney tubules express SLC26A6, SLC26A1 and SLC26A7, three members of the SLC26A family that transport oxalate: SLC26A6 mediates ...

Each kidney contains over one million microscopic filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron is made of a tubule and is responsible for 'cleaning' the blood by removing urea and excess water ...

An alternative approach, to which we subscribe, involves finding a limited number of biomarkers that identify injury to primary sites in the kidney, such as the glomerulus or the proximal tubule ...
