MDI Bio Lab scientists discovered how zebrafish solve a basic challenge in regenerative biology—insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair.

The kidney carries out important functions via microscopic functional units called nephrons. Researchers are investigating which factors control the formation and function of specific segments of the ...

Proper function of the kidney is critical for concentrating urine, regulating blood pressure, and for the tight control of electrolyte levels in the blood. The kidney achieves these important ...

A fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) restored kidney function in a rodent model and promoted renoprotection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by reducing proteinuria and improving endothelial ...

A pair of USC Stem Cell mouse studies detail how progenitor cells self-renew, differentiate, and aggregate into early kidney structures, offering insights for the creation of stem cell-based ...

Orthostatic hypotension may be asymptomatic and should be assessed, according to investigators. Middle-aged adults with orthostatic hypotension experience greater kidney function decline than those ...
