Nature Reviews Nephrology - Albuminuria inhibits podocyte regeneration. The researchers found that exposure of human RPCs to transferrin and IgG reduced their viability, whereas exposure to human ...

In recent years, the MDI Biological Laboratory has become a hub for kidney regeneration research due to its participation in a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded consortium, (Re)Building a ...

A research team has identified the signaling mechanisms underlying podocyte formation, or morphogenesis. The discovery opens the door to the development of therapies to stimulate the regeneration of ...

A team led by Iain Drummond, Ph.D., of the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, has identified the signaling mechanisms underlying the formation of podocytes, which are tiny, highly ...

In research at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, a team led by Iain Drummond, Ph.D., director of the Kathryn W. Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Aging, has identified ...

Cycles of controlled fasting may promote regeneration of podocytes in patients with primary glomerulonephritis, a pilot study suggests. After conducting various animal studies, Laura Perin, PhD ...

Using 2-DOG uptake assays, we found that two independent podocyte cell lines were each capable of increasing their glucose uptake by 90 and 105%, respectively, after 15 min of stimulation with 220 ...

SAN DIEGO, June 11, 2025--Travere Therapeutics today announced that the Company will present three abstracts at the upcoming International Podocyte Conference.

In this study, we have demonstrated, using two independent normal podocyte cell lines, a previously unsuspected aspect of human podocyte biology: that differentiated podocytes are insulin ...
