aProximate TM is an advanced in vitro model of kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) that closely mimics physiological conditions. Derived from fresh human kidney tissue, aProximate TM PTCs are cultured ...

Vanderbilt researchers created the first high-res lipid atlas of the human kidney, mapping over 100,000 functional tissue units across 29 donors. This atlas is the most comprehensive of its kind, ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine identified over 1,000 genes that could serve as potential treatment targets for kidney disease in a newly published study. The study marks the most ...

The normal functioning of kidneys requires high levels of energy and kidney disease is characterized by a disruption of that energy metabolism. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a molecule ...

PHILADELPHIA – 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 ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown 'housekeeping' process in kidney cells that ejects unwanted content, resulting in cells that rejuvenate themselves and remain functioning and healthy.

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 ...
