Because these developmental processes have been implicated in filtration barrier failure, Thiruvur et al. 1 evaluated the role of the Notch pathway in glomerular disease.

Both of these features reflect abnormalities of the filtration barrier of the renal glomerulus, which is comprised of three components: glomerular capillary endothelial cells, the glomerular ...

We tested all the top water filter brands including Brita, ZeroWater, Pur and more. Here's what you need to know.

Reprint: R1309C Even when CEOs make gender diversity a priority—by setting aspirational goals for the proportion of women in leadership roles, insisting on diverse slates of candidates for ...

LifeSource Water Systems offers salt-free water softener alternatives, whole-house water filtration systems and antibacterial water disinfection filters. It sells these products individually and ...

Since vinculin is a critical structural protein in podocytes, its disruption by autoantibodies leads to loss of structural integrity and breakdown of the kidney's filtration barrier.

The GBM is a sheet-like extracellular matrix meshwork separating two cellular layers, endothelial cells and podocytes. Together, these three layers form the glomerular filtration barrier, which ...

Control Lyapunov functions (CLFs) and control barrier functions (CBFs) have been used to develop provably safe controllers by means of quadratic programs (QPs), guaranteeing safety in the form of ...

Objectives Trajectories of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline vary highly among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is clinically important to identify patients who have ...

Paraneoplastic glomerulopathy is a secondary glomerular lesion syndrome driven by tumors. As the glomerulus is the basic functional unit of kidney filtration, glomerular lesions are key indicators of ...

Safety is a critical concern when applying reinforcement learning (RL) to real-world control tasks. However, existing safe RL works either only consider expected safety constraint violations and fail ...
