BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Practitioners of applied mathematics use a lexicon of numerical equations, instead of letters and sentences, to illuminate the secrets of the physical world. They use this "foreign ...

Hypertension is a chronic disease with an incidence of more than 65 million people in the US (1). According to recent estimates nearly one in three US adults have high blood pressure (1). This chronic ...

In a significant stride for regenerative medicine, scientists have managed to reverse kidney damage in mice using innovative ...

Scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the nephrons. NPCs hold immense promise for ...

In this paper, concepts from network automata are adapted and extended to model complex biological systems. Specifically, systems of nephrons, the operational units of the kidney, are modelled and the ...

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assesses the function of all nephrons, and the single-nephron GFR assesses the function of individual nephrons. How the single-nephron GFR relates to demographic ...

A new frontier of medicine is the regeneration of injured organs. Nephrologists dream of clinical strategies to repair different nephron compartments after acute and chronic injury. Preclinical ...

Scientists identify a possible therapeutic target to extend kidney development in preterm babies that would reduce the risk of kidney failure later in life. Study identifies possible therapeutic ...

Using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids, researchers from Science Tokyo uncovered how abnormal ...
