DOI: 10.1002/mabi.201800412
Abstract: The increasing prevalence of end-stage renal disease and persistent shortage of donor organs call for alternative therapies for kidney patients. Dialysis remains an inferior treatment as clearance of large and protein-bound waste products depends on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2018.10.221
Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to play an important role in renal physiology and pathophysiology partly through its influence on various solute transport systems in the kidney proximal tubule. Coincidentally, the same transport systems… read more here.

DOI: 10.1091/mbc.e22-11-0510
Abstract: The kidney proximal tubule (PT) elaborates a uniquely high capacity apical endocytic pathway to retrieve albumin and other proteins that escape the glomerular filtration barrier. Megalin and cubilin/amnionless (CUBAM) receptors engage Dab2 in these cells… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000526369
Abstract: The kidney proximal tubule is a major target tissue of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Megalin is an endocytic multiligand receptor abundantly expressed in the proximal tubule where it drives reabsorption of peptides and proteins from… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/cimb44030066
Abstract: Kidney proximal tubules are a key segment in the reabsorption of solutes and water from the glomerular ultrafiltrate, an essential process for maintaining homeostasis in body fluid compartments. The abundant content of Na+ in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23041993
Abstract: In previous studies, we identified the two principal transporters that mediate the uptake of glutathione (GSH) from cytoplasm into the mitochondrial matrix of rat kidney proximal tubular cells. We hypothesized that genetic modulation of transporter… read more here.
