The human kidney is a masterclass in biological engineering. Responsible for filtering approximately 50 gallons of blood daily, this vital organ performs more than waste removal. Through processes ...

The kidney, a critical organ for waste filtration and fluid regulation, is the subject of a groundbreaking molecular mapping project that could reshape our understanding of renal health. Despite ...

ChRCC originates from distal tubule α-intercalated cells, differing from clear cell and papillary kidney cancers. ChRCC shows downregulation of antigen-presenting machinery, indicating immune evasion ...

Distalmotion’s mission is to empower robotic surgery excellence by expanding access and improving care with robotic assisted surgery in the hospital outpatient and ambulatory surgery centers (ASC’s) ...

The distal portions of the nephron, including the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), the connecting tubule (CNT), and the cortical collecting duct (CCD), are essential to fine-tune the excretion of ...

The presence and number of kidney cysts, particularly in the medulla, may be an additional imaging-based biomarker for progressive CKD after radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer. Among patients who ...

Kir4.2 and Kir4.1 play a role in regulating membrane transport in the proximal tubule (PT) and in the distal-convoluted-tubule (DCT), respectively. AT1aR (angiotensin II type 1a receptor) determines ...

Your radius is one of the two bones in your forearm, along with the ulna. It’s the bone that attaches closest to your thumb. A radius fracture, sometimes called a radial fracture, is a break of this ...

Specification and elaboration of proximo-distal (P-D) axes for structures or tissues within a body occurs secondarily from that of the main axes of the body. Our understanding of the mechanism(s) that ...

Uromodulin (or Tamm-Horsfall protein) is a glycoprotein uniquely produced in the kidney by tubular cells of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle and early distal tubules. This protein ...
