The pathological process of glomerulonephritis (GN) includes glomerular capillary damage, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has an important role in glomerular capillary repair in GN. We ...

Prematurity is often complicated by respiratory support, including invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and noninvasive support (NIS). Compared with IMV, NIS reduces injury to the lung and brain.

Glomerulus, the fundamental filtering unit of the kidney, is an intricate network of capillaries — small blood vessels that regulate the movement of ions, water, and metabolites while maintaining ...

In patients with diabetic nephropathy, glomerulopathy is an important renal structural change. The kidney consists of four basic tissue types: vessels, glomeruli, tubules, and interstitium. Each of ...

Acute renal failure is defined as a rapid decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, occurring over a period of minutes to days. Because the rate of production of metabolic waste exceeds the rate of ...

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a condition in which the kidneys are inflamed. The glomeruli are the filtering mechanism of the kidneys. They consist of a tuft of highly coiled capillaries cupped in a ...

Initially, the researchers observed the specific expression of ADGRF5 within endothelial cells that line the glomerular capillary wall. In mice with genetic knockout of ADGRF5, the GFB was affected by ...

In a world first, Kumamoto University researchers have shown mouse kidney capillaries successfully connecting to kidney tissue which was derived from human iPS cells. This achievement shows that human ...

Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels — so small that a single red blood cell can barely fit through them. They help to connect your arteries and veins in addition to facilitating the exchange of ...
