16. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of kidney injury and regeneration
Abstract : The prevalence of kidney disease is constantly increasing with about 600 million people afflicted globally. Kidney disease may result in end stage renal disease, a condition that requires renal replacement therapy in the form of kidney transplantation or dialysis. READ MORE

17. Glomerular expression profiling and novel proteins in normal mouse kidney and adriamycin-induced nephrosis
Abstract : Kidney glomeruli function as high-capacity molecular sieves through which plasma is filtered into the Bowman s space as primary urine. The glomerular filtration barrier is composed of glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerulus basement membrane and the podocyte cell layer. READ MORE

18. New predictive and diagnostic biomarkers for preeclampsia
Abstract : Abstract Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that affects 3-8% of all pregnancies leading to maternal- and fetal morbidity and mortality. The etiology is still not known in detail. Previous findings have shown an up regulation of the genes coding for fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in preeclamptic placentas. READ MORE

19. Functional analysis of genes in the developing zebrafish pronephros and vasculature
Abstract : During glomerulogenesis, the recruitment and assembly of visceral epithelial cells (podocytes), endothelial capillary cells, and smooth muscle pericytes (mesangial cells) result in the formation of the glomerular tuft. The mature glomerulus functions by passage of plasma under hemodynamic pressure across a filter, the glomerular filtration barrier, and the integrity of the barrier is crucial for proper function.

20. High-resolution Imaging of Cleared and Expanded Kidney Tissue Samples
Abstract : The kidney is one of the most important and complex organs in the humanbody with the task of filtering hundreds of litres of blood daily. It is responsiblefor the salt and acid/base balance in the body, as well as secretinghormones important for red blood cell production and blood pressure regulation. READ MORE
