The ultimate goal of surgical treatment in cancer is to remove the tumor mass for restoring a healthy state. A 16-lipid panel that discriminated healthy controls from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients in a prior study was evaluated in the present work in paired-serum samples collec...
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common kidney malignancy. Yet, no rapid, non-invasive biomarkers are available for diagnosis or screening. Urine represents an ideal analyte matrix due to its accessibility, low invasiveness, longitudinal sampling and the kidney’s central role i...
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...
Metabolic reprogramming is critical for tumor initiation and progression. However, the exact impact of specific metabolic changes on cancer progression is poorly understood. Here, we integrate multimodal analyses of primary and metastatic clonally-related clear cell renal cancer cells (ccRCC) gro...
Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disorder characterized by progressive renal cyst formation, often leading to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). While urinary metabolomics in ADPKD has been extensively studied, the composition of renal cyst fluid, par...

The promotion of repair in proximal renal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) or the prevention of repair failure has been suggested as a beneficial strategy for mitigating the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, effective interventions to halt CKD progression and subsequent renal f...
