Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) exhibits etiological heterogeneity across regions, with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related ACLF predominant in China and alcohol-related ACLF dominating Western ...

This review presents a concise update of nongenomic effects of aldosterone on the mammalian renal tubule. Emphasis is placed on ion transport proteins regulated by aldosterone through nongenomic ...

We measured renal cortical E - cadherin, TGF - β1, hydroxyproline and NO levels biochemically as evidence of EMT. Except for the hydroxyproline level, all these markers were heightened in UUO rats and ...

Motor cortex articles from across Nature Portfolio The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex including the primary motor, premotor and supplementary motor cortices that is responsible ...

Nephrogenesis and Nephron Endowment The nephron endowment refers to the number of functioning nephrons that an individual has at birth. In the human fetus, renal development reaches completion at ...

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been recognized for many years as critical pathway for blood pressure control and kidney functions. Although most of the well-known cardiovascular and renal ...

In patients with renal insufficiency associated with increased hemoglobin levels and polycythemia, the possibilities of recombinant erythropoietin overdosing and disorders such as neoplasms and ...

Erratum to "Automatic Renal Cortex Segmentation Using Implicit Shape Registration and Novel Multiple Surfaces Graph Search" [Oct 12 1849-1860] ...

Here we use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate that an area in human cortex responds selectively to components of optic flow, such as circular and radial motion.
