The human kidney filters about a cup of blood every minute, removing waste, excess fluid, and toxins from it, while also ...

The kidney, a critical organ for waste filtration and fluid regulation, is the subject of a groundbreaking molecular mapping project that could reshape our understanding of renal health. Despite ...

Fish treated with SGLT2 inhibitors maintained healthier kidneys as they aged. Their kidneys preserved denser networks of capillaries, retained a stronger filtration barrier, and showed more stable ...

Cells expressing PAX8 (nucleus, red) considered podocyte precursors, line the outer Bowman’s capsule. Activated during the low salt-fasting mimicking diet (LS-FMD), the cells migrate and ...

A fast-aging fish is giving scientists a rare, accelerated look at how kidneys grow old—and how a common drug may slow that ...

A pioneering technology has been developed that enables human kidney organoids to be produced in a scalable manner by allowing the organoids to be combined with ex vivo pig kidneys and then ...

A fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) restored kidney function in a rodent model and promoted renoprotection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by reducing proteinuria and improving endothelial ...
