A research team led by Indiana University School of Medicine physician scientists has made significant progress in mapping kidney cells that may one day allow for more accurate disease diagnosis.

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Two new studies examining kidney disease at both the cellular and protein levels provided novel insights into disease biology, suggesting paths toward more precise and individualized therapies for ...

Over 1,000 genes may serve as possible treatment targets for individuals with kidney disease, according to a new study. By creating the most complete and detailed genetic 'map' of kidney function to ...

The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the ...

Among modern cancer therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the most successful treatment methods. These ...
