Collecting duct carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer. Learn more about its causes and symptoms here.

Genetically modified mice produce more urine Experiments conducted in collecting duct cell cultures showed that GRHL2 has a significant impact on the permeability of the connection between cells.

The resulting filtrate then passes through a series of tubes, in which various solutes are exchanged with blood vessels, before ending up in a branching tree of collecting ducts that funnels the ...

In addition, it may also have a function in the adult kidney. We further extend our study by showing increased RET and GDNF expression in collecting duct cysts of polycystic kidney patients.

When researchers checked the expression of the receptor for the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin, which acts on the collecting duct, they found that it was only expressed in the collecting duct.
