Renal and Vascular Pathologies

A whole-organ multi-scale in silico framework for human kidney haemodynamics informed by hierarchical phase-contrast tomography

The paper develops an in silico framework to model human kidney haemodynamics using HiP-CT data, showing vascular geometry and resistance scaling influence kidney function.

Comparison of embolic effects between permanent and novel resorbable microspheres in a porcine renal artery embolization model for TAE

This study compares the embolic effects of permanent and resorbable microspheres in a porcine renal artery model, finding that resorbable microspheres allow complete recanalization within 24 hours with minimal inflammation and tissue recovery.

Genetic association studies of fibromuscular dysplasia identify new risk loci and shared genetic basis with more common vascular diseases
