In adults and in children older than 2–3 months, the renal cortex is normally less echogenic than the liver parenchyma. Some researchers have suggested that hyperechogenicity of the renal cortex ...

Renal progenitor cells and kidney growth As outlined above, nephrons form continuously at the cortex of the developing kidney from uninduced mesenchymal precursor cells. Hence, nephron induction ...

At present, it is unknown which cells in the damaged organ are responsible for increased erythropoietin production in a hydronephrotic kidney. In patients with cystic renal diseases (in whom mild ...

Cancer of the kidney is a serious condition and understanding the risk factors can help you avoid developing it. Renal cell carcinomas (RCC), which originate in the cortex, are the most common ...

The landscape has dramatically changed in the management of small kidney tumors. Increased early detection of tumors, advancements in the understanding of tumor biology, progression of surgical ...

and his team of researchers have devised an effective means to grow iPS cell-derived kidney progenitor cells, paving the way for renal regenerative therapies to become a reality. The findings are ...

Objective: We have shown previously that exercise training enhances endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vascular relaxation in rabbit kidney. This study aimed to investigate protein ...
