Each human kidney has about 1 to 2 million filtering units called nephrons that help purify our blood and remove waste ...

For example, the connected nephron-tubule pairs remain disorganized ... the creation of the first kidney organoid system with real collecting ducts will allow scientists to further study diseases ...

Confocal microscopy reveals abnormal, stunted cilia on proximal tubules, podocytes, and collecting duct cells in mice with global or conditional deletion of GR. In contrast, activation of GR ...

allowed them to identify the different cell types and their organization within the kidney's proximal and distal tubules, collecting ducts, and blood-filtering glomeruli. "We discovered new ...

Background: The kidney, brain, and endocrine glands all express calbindin-D28K, a calcium-binding protein that is essential for maintaining calcium homeostasis. Calcium metabolism is disturbed in ...

the glomeruli and tubules in areas devoid of interstitial scarring and calcium deposition were normal. There was no evidence of disease of the renal arteries or arterioles. Calcium deposits were ...
