  2. 1. Molecular mechanisms of the kidney in health and disease

    Author : Kerstin Ebefors; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : kidney; gene expression; glomerulus; proteoglycans;

    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

  4. 2. Transcriptional profiling of the kidney glomerulus

    Author : Ying Sun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    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

  5. 3. Proteome studies, with emphasis on the kidney glomerulus

    Author : Sam Tryggvason; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    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

  6. 4. Podocyte Melanocortin 1 Receptor Mediated Signaling : A potential new target for patients with kidney diseases

    Author : Johannes Elvin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Podocyte; Melanocortin 1 Receptor; actin cytoskeleton; nephrotic syndrome; adrenocorticotropic hormone; oxidative stress; RhoA; Kidney disease;

    Abstract : Treatment of patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) is currently unspecific and directed at ameliorating the symptoms rather than eliminating the cause. NS is actually a multitude of glomerular diseases characterized by poorly understood disease mechanisms and symptoms that include proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and edema. READ MORE

  7. 5. Calcium Responses in the Renal Afferent Arteriole to Angiotensin II and Norepinephrine Stimulation

    Author : Mark Kornfeld; Klinisk neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; norepinephrine; angiotensin II; smooth muscle cells; afferent arteriole; calcium; Kidney; renal hemodynamics; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Studies were performed to investigate the influence of the vasoconstrictors angiotensin II (AII) and norepinephrine (NE) on calcium metabolism in smooth muscle cells of afferent arterioles. Fura-2 and image analysis techniques were used to evaluate calcium responses in the proximal and distal parts of afferent arterioles with attached glomeruli. READ MORE
