Profibrotic proximal tubular (PT) were identified as a unique phenotype of PTCs in renal fibrosis by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Controlling the process of renal fibrosis requires understanding how to manage the S1 subset's branch to the S3 subset rather than to the profibrotic PT sub...
Serum, urine and tissue from a rat model of chronic kidney disease (CKD) were analysed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based metabolomics methods, and compared with samples from sham operated rats. Both urine and serum were sampled at multiple timepoints, and the results have ...
BACKGROUND: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). The current standard of care focuses on supporting kidney function, stating the need for more efficient and targeted therapies to enhance repair. Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) and ...
Renal fibrosis, a hallmark of chronic kidney diseases, is driven by the activation of renal fibroblasts. Recent studies have highlighted the role of glycolysis in this process. Nevertheless, one critical glycolytic activator, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), remain...
