Three different hTERT-immortalized human primary renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTEC) were modified and tested for functionality and stable expression of the OAT1, OCT2, and OAT3 proteins.

including kidney, retina and lungs. We have the capability to develop and implement protocols to measure cilia beat frequency and toxicity on small airway epithelial cells model, retinal toxicity ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells—which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities—are mute, serving ...

Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But researchers discovered they can produce electrical signals like neurons.

Human beings are born with two kidneys, which filter about a half cup of blood every minute, removing wastes and extra water to make urine.

Each patient's urine sediment was analyzed and scored using a novel scale that ranged from 1 to 3 for the presence and number of red and white blood cells, renal tubular epithelial cells ...

One part of the kidney called the proximal tubule—where water, nutrients, and other small molecules are reabsorbed into the blood from the urine—was especially hampered by this. “The epithelial cells ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI ... After entering the body, the HMPV virus attaches to the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract, which includes airways and the lungs. These cells form a ...
