Expression and role of adrenomedullin in renal tumors and value of its mRNA levels as prognostic factor in clear-cell renal carcinoma.

13 Nov 2009 Antiangiogenic therapies are used for advanced clear-cell renal carcinomas (cRCC), but without curative possibilities, underlining the need for new therapeutic targets. Adrenomedullin (AM), a multifunctional peptide, is highly expressed in several ... Read more...

The obligatory role of the kidney in long-term arterial blood pressure control: extending Guyton's model of the circulation.

30 Oct 2009 We describe a model for the essential role of the kidney in long-term blood pressure regulation. We begin with a simple hydraulic model for the circulation, with a constant circulating volume. We show, with the help of a modification of Guyton's ... Read more...

Comparison of autosomal mutations in mouse kidney epithelial cells exposed to iron ions in situ or in culture.

30 Oct 2009 Exposure to accelerated iron ions represents a significant health risk in the deep space environment because it induces mutations that can cause cancer. A mutation assay was used to determine the full spectrum of autosomal mutations induced by ... Read more...
