New insights into the role of podocytes in proteinuria.

5 Jul 2009 Disturbances in many different molecular pathways and interactions can lead to the same clinical end points of proteinuria and end-stage renal disease. Proteinuria is often accompanied by a cytopathological change in the glomerulus that is referred ... Read more...

Isolation and characterization of resident mesenchymal stem cells in human glomeruli.

29 Jun 2009 In humans, renal resident stem cells were identified within the interstitium, the tubular cells, and the Bowman's capsule. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether multipotent stem cells are present also in the adult ... Read more...

Chromogranin A regulates renal function by triggering Weibel-Palade body exocytosis.

9 Jun 2009 Chromogranin A (CHGA), a protein released from secretory granules of chromaffin cells and sympathetic nerves, triggers endothelin-1 release from endothelial cells. CHGA polymorphisms associate with an increased risk for ESRD, but whether altered ... Read more...
