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...

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...
Metabolic syndrome is a growing global health problem and is strongly associated with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recently, the prevalence of CKD has been increasing worldwide, particularly among the older adults. We previously demonstrated that aged kidneys are prone to deve...

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...
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...
