Researches made major strides toward the creation of artificial kidney tissue by demonstrating an undiscovered mechanism behind kidney development and a novel technique for culturing kidney cells, ...

The kidney is a metabolically active organ that requires energy to drive processes such as tubular reabsorption and secretion, and shows a decline in function with advancing age. Various molecular ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a novel mouse model that allows them to induce dysfunction in only one kidney. Using this model, they uncovered the molecular mechanisms behind ...

Niigata, Japan - The gold standard test for predicting the onset of diabetic kidney disease is albuminuria. However, detecting albuminuria alone has limited sensitivity and specificity in end-stage ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a previously unrecognized way the kidneys regulate water balance—an advance that ...

Kidneys are highly susceptible to acute injury. Several studies in 2025 revealed insights into mechanisms of protection and susceptibility — including sex-specific mechanisms of protection against ...

A research team from the School of Chinese Medicine in the LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has discovered that C-reactive protein (CRP) can exacerbate kidney ...

University of Texas at Dallas scientists have discovered a previously unknown "housekeeping" process in kidney cells that ejects unwanted content, resulting in cells that rejuvenate themselves and ...

A new study from Aarhus University demonstrates that a protein known for treating cardiovascular diseases also affects a mechanism in the kidney that reabsorbs proteins. This finding could lead to new ...
