UCSF researchers have designed a model filtration system that could offer a new approach to treating patients suffering from end-stage renal disease, potentially removing the need for a clinic-based ...

Researchers have developed the first model of kidney filtration in the lab that accurately mimics human kidney physiology. The model represents a leap in chronic kidney disease research and could help ...

The kidneys serve as the body’s primary filtration system, removing waste products and maintaining proper fluid balance. When alcohol enters the bloodstream, these vital organs bear significant ...

A fast-aging fish is giving scientists a rare, accelerated look at how kidneys grow old—and how a common drug may slow that process down. Researchers found that SGLT2 inhibitors, widely used to treat ...

As soon as you are wounded—whether from grabbing a hot pan or contracting the flu—you begin a unique journey through variable ...

Scientists in Japan have found a 'skeleton key' for congenital kidney disease research. Using iPS cells generated from the skin cells of a patient with a nephrin mutation, Kumamoto University ...
