1. Molecular mechanisms of the kidney in health and disease
Abstract : In 2010, 307 Swedish patients received a new kidney through transplantation, and the first of April 2011, 603 patients were on the kidney transplant waiting list. In Sweden over 8000 patients are presently in active uremic care with about half in dialysis and the other half with a functional kidney graft. READ MORE

2. Transcriptional profiling of the kidney glomerulus
Abstract : The kidney glomerulus plays a crucial role in ultraltration of the blood through the glomerular capillary wall. Glomerulus injury may occur in many systemic and primary kidney diseases or as secondary eects to drugs and infections. READ MORE

3. Proteome studies, with emphasis on the kidney glomerulus
Abstract : Proteomics aims to link genes to protein expression and function. Proteomics is a very versatile and technology-dependent discipline and the development of mass spectrometry-based proteomics has advanced the understanding of the complex and dynamic nature of proteomes. READ MORE

4. Identification and characterization of kidney glomerulus-associated genes and proteins
Abstract : The kidney glomerulus is a micro-organ comprised of a molecular filtration barrier that prevents the loss of blood proteins into the primary filtrate. This function is dependent on the coordination of its three constituent layers: the endothelium, the glomerular basement membrane and the podocytes. READ MORE

5. Identification and characterization of novel glomerulus-associated genes and proteins
Abstract : The kidney is responsible for sieving the circulating blood to eliminate water-soluble waste products and potentially toxic substances from the body. The filtration step occurs in specialized filtration units called glomeruli. READ MORE
