Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that begins with tissue damage and gradually leads to loss of kidney function. The condition, which affects about 10% of the global population, ...

Scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in kidney research. In a paper published in the journal Communications Biology, a team of researchers at Kyoto University led by Ramin Sadeghian present ...

In two separate studies, researchers at EPFL have carried out extensive tests to develop the best mouse models for studying kidney and liver diseases. The findings provide crucial insights into both ...

A team developed a human iPS cell-derived kidney organoid-based proximal tubule-on-chip -- OPTECs-on-Chip -- that mimics in vivo renal physiology more closely than ever before. This model exhibits ...

Kidney disease can progress silently, often remaining undetected until substantial damage has occurred. Now, researchers from ...

Risk prediction models for kidney disease integrate clinical, biochemical and computational methods to forecast the onset, progression and adverse outcomes of renal impairment. Traditional risk scores ...

Scientists hsve generated simple kidney-like structures called organoids and used them to identify potential drugs to treat adult-onset polycystic kidney disease. To accelerate the quest for new ...

The study was a page-turner: Researchers at Google showed that an artificial intelligence system could predict acute kidney injury, a common killer of hospitalized patients, up to 48 hours in advance.

Researchers developed tubuloids from adult kidney cells. When exposed to cisplatin, the model replicated key steps in the chronic kidney disease progression, including DNA damage, cellular senescence, ...
