This study identifies renal mononuclear phagocytes as an intracellular reservoir for UPEC in pyelonephritis, showing that complement receptor-mediated entry promotes bacterial persistence and limits β-lactam efficacy.

The paper integrates kidney and urine proteomics with peptidomics and machine learning to identify encrypted antimicrobial peptides as functional effectors in human pyelonephritis.

This study identifies lactate as a metabolic driver of CD163+ macrophage polarization in human pyelonephritis, linking lactate metabolism to immune dysfunction.

This study shows that dapagliflozin reduces peritoneal fibrosis and improves ultrafiltration in a mouse model of high-glucose peritoneal dialysis.
