Glomerulus, the fundamental filtering unit of the kidney, is an intricate network ... known as the glomerular filtration ...

This often happens when kidney diseases damage the kidney’s filtration barrier, which is there to keep larger molecules like ...

Diabetes can wreak havoc on the vasculature, leading to renal failure, blindness and cardiovascular disease. Such conditions are ultimately the result of reduced insulin production or insulin ...

The Bristol research initially focused on revealing underlying molecular mechanisms based on the glomerular podocyte, the central cell of the kidney filtration barrier. In 2002, the team led by ...

In patients with renal impairment, rocuronium and sugammadex are the primary choice for reversing neuromuscular blockade, ...

Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is a devastating disease affecting both adults and children resulting from the breakdown of the kidney filtration barrier. It usually leads to end-stage ...

Here, the authors show that anti-Mb RabMAb injection blocking the passage of free Mb through the glomerular filtration barrier significantly rescues both homologous and heterologous RM/CS-AKI ...

Interestingly, zwitterionic coatings prevented serum protein adsorption, resulting in improved renal filtration. Zwitterionic particles also had the highest solubility and smallest HD. These data ...
