DOI: 10.1016/j.scr.2020.101849

Abstract: The Wnt pathway co-receptor, Leucine Rich Repeat Containing G Protein-Coupled Receptor 5 (LGR5), labels tumor-prone stem cell populations in certain types of tissue. In this study, we show that ARID1A and PIK3CA mutations in LGR5+… read more here.

DOI: 10.1681/asn.2017090962

Abstract: Urinary concentrating ability is central to mammalian water balance and depends on a medullary osmotic gradient generated by a countercurrent multiplication mechanism. Medullary hyperosmolarity is protected from washout by countercurrent exchange and efficient removal of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3233/ch-179230

Abstract: BACKGROUND Descending vasa recta (DVR) supply the inner part of outer renal medulla an area at risk for hypoxic damages. OBJECTIVE We hypothesize increased vasoreactivity after hypoxia/re-oxygenation (H/R) in DVR, which might contribute to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23137016

Abstract: Reduced renal medullary oxygen supply is a key factor in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI). As the medulla exclusively receives blood through descending vasa recta (DVR), dilating these microvessels after AKI may help… read more here.
