Peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs such as octreotide is an effective therapy against neuroendocrine tumors. Other radiolabeled peptides and antibody ...

In the distal kidney tubule, pendrin — a chloride–bicarbonate exchanger — reabsorbs chloride and secretes bicarbonate into the lumen.5 Chloride depletion diminishes the delivery of chloride to the ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a ... COVID-19 can cause direct damage to kidney cells, proximal tubule ... 19 Casts or crystals within the renal tubular lumen can cause intrarenal obstruction. 12 ...

The recent understanding that hydrophobic β-lactams have greater affinity for organic anion transporter-3 (OAT-3) of the proximal renal tubule could provide valuable insights for anticipating ...

A newly discovered kidney cell renewal process expels waste and organelles, offering potential breakthroughs in disease detection and nanomedicine. Scientists from the University of Texas at Dallas ...

The team used a type of kidney cell called a proximal tubule cell, which regulates water and salt, as a test case. Co-author H. David Humes, MD, from the University of Michigan, had previously used ...

Renal dysfunction due to drug-induced nephrotoxicity (DIN) affects >20% of the adult population worldwide. The vascularized proximal tubule is a complex structure that is often the primary site of ...

Research has shown that gold nanoparticles generally pass unscathed through a structure in the kidney called the glomerulus and then travel into proximal tubules, which make up over 50% of the kidney.

Research has shown that gold nanoparticles generally pass unscathed through a structure in the kidney called the glomerulus and then travel into proximal tubules, which make up over 50% of the kidney.

For instance, sites of catabolism within the proximal tubule can occur at the brush border, within lysosomes following endocytosis, or even within the tubule lumen itself. The objective of the current ...
