In recent years, regenerative medicine and cell therapy have gained worldwide recognition for their potential to treat previously incurable diseases by restoring lost cells or bodily functions.

Scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the nephrons. NPCs hold immense promise for ...

Human kidneys are an intricate network of tubes that process roughly 190 quarts of blood every day. Lining these tubes are epithelial cells that transport blood through the kidneys and circulate it ...

CCL5 is a signaling molecule, or chemokine, that helps immune cells move toward sites of inflammation. It was first identified in T cells, but later research showed that it is also produced by other ...

Cancer cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) can travel from distant tumors through the bloodstream and kidneys ...

Putting a nature-inspired spin on the fabrication of high-performance graphene membranes for tricky oil/water separations – even in stable emulsions – researchers have demonstrated a graphene nanomesh ...

CCL5 protects podocytes, the kidney’s essential filtration cells, but simultaneously drives harmful inflammation. Ultimately, these damaging effects surpass its protective role, leading to progressive ...
