Spatiotemporal expression of chemokines and chemokine receptors in experimental anti-myeloperoxidase antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis.

29 Sep 2009 Myeloperoxidase (MPO)-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN) is characterized by abundant leucocyte infiltration. Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines involved in receptor-mediated ... Read more...

Prenatal dexamethasone exposure does not alter blood pressure and nephron number in the young adult marmoset monkey.

19 Sep 2009 The influence of prenatal factors on the development of arterial hypertension has gained considerable interest in recent years. Prenatal dexamethasone exposure was found to induce hypertension and to alter nephron number and size in rodents and ... Read more...

Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition prevents glomerular hypertrophy in a model of renal mass reduction.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Sirolimus (SRL) is a potent and specific immunosuppressive drug used in organ transplantation, as basic therapy or in combination with calcineurin inhibitors. Although SRL is a nonnephrotoxic drug, many reports have related its use with ... Read more...
