Over 1,000 genes may serve as possible treatment targets for individuals with kidney disease, according to a new study, published in Science, from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the ...

During this project we generated kidney transporter cell models using well-characterized hTERT-immortalized renal proximal tubule epithelial cells 2 (RPTEC/TERT1) that stably overexpress the OAT1 ...

Part of the problem is that kidney organoids require at least three different types of stem cells: one for the tubules, one ...

Human proximal tubule cells are available as assay-ready plates ... The consistent supply of fresh kidney tissue allows Newcells to provide prompt and dependable service, creating experiments ...

interstitial cells have been shown to express erythropoietin messenger RNA, even in advanced chronic kidney disease; cysts derived from proximal tubules, but not those derived from distal tubules ...

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 ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) may progress to chronic kidney disease, and there is an urgent need for approaches that improve the limited regeneration of the renal tubules after AKI.
