PURPOSEAccurately distinguishing renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from normal kidney tissue is critical for identifying positive surgical margins (PSMs) during partial and radical nephrectomy, which remains ...

Cancer-fighting T-cells, the immune system's primary enforcers, are scarce in the rare kidney cancer called chromophobe renal ...

“In cystinotic individuals, it is the renal proximal tubule that degenerates, presumably due to programmed cell death,” explains Taub, “so the entire kidney would not need to be replaced. The ...

PHILADELPHIA - The kidney is a highly complex organ - far beyond a simple filter. Its function requires intricate interactions between many highly specialized cell types to extract waste, balances ...

Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, paternal kidney transplantation was postponed until 10 months after HSCT, by which time the patient had normal T-cell function .

In our patient, the persistence of mixed chimerism after combined kidney and hematopoietic-cell transplantation, the withdrawal of all immunosuppressive therapy, and the uninterrupted normal ...

Kidney cancer-- also called renal cell cancer-- is a disease in which kidney cells become malignant (cancerous) and grow out of control, forming a tumor. Almost all kidney cancers first appear in ...

Treatments for metastatic renal cell cancer include: Surgery; ... Your immune system uses a system of "checkpoints" on the surface of your cells to tell which ones are normal and which are ...

This image, produced by a fluorescence microscope, shows a normal renal proximal tubule, the specific nephron segment in the kidney that is impaired in the rare disease infantile cystinosis.

Stem cell study reveals how infantile cystinosis causes kidney failure -- and how to cure it Research demonstrates how the genetic defect causing this rare, congenital disease could be repaired ...
