This study shows that chronic low-concentration PM2.5 exposure after ischemic injury accelerates CKD through mitochondrial dysfunction and lysosomal stress, with nicotinamide reversing some effects.

This study validates the use of kidney biopsy transport medium for rapid gene profiling to enable same-day molecular diagnosis of kidney disease.

The paper identifies cell type-specific lncRNAs in human kidneys and finds TARID, a podocyte-specific lncRNA, is upregulated in diabetic kidney disease and critical for actin cytoskeleton reorganization.

This paper demonstrates that synthetic CTNS mRNA therapy can restore cystinosin function and reduce cystine accumulation in kidney cells and zebrafish models of cystinosis.

This study shows that carnosine synthase deficiency worsens neuroinflammation in MS models but not demyelination, suggesting a role in neuroinflammation regulation.
