Diminished hepatocyte regeneration is a key feature of acute and chronic liver diseases and after extended liver resections, resulting in the inability to maintain or restore a sufficient functional liver mass. Therapies to restore hepatocyte regeneration are lacking, making liver transplantation...
OBJECTIVE: Patients with renal failure suffer from symptoms caused by uraemic toxins, possibly of gut microbial origin, as deduced from studies in animals. The aim of the study is to characterise relationships between the intestinal microbiome composition, uraemic toxins and rena...
The gut microbiomes communicate with kidney and may play a crucial role in the development of anemia in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). However, the alterations in microbiota and their association with functional metabolites remain unclear. We performed metagenomics and untargeted meta...

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 ...
