New insights into membranous glomerulonephritis: from bench to bedside.
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is responsible for most cases of nephrotic syndrome in adults [1]. Although spontaneous remission may occur in some cases and several therapeutic options are now available [2–4], in a significant number of patients the response to therapy is poor and the risk of cardiovascular events or kidney disease progression remains high. Prognostic markers in IMN wo...

With the discovery of the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) as target antigens in 80% of patients with primary membranous nephropathy clinical and experimental research as well as patient management can be better adapted to the pathophysiology of the disease (Beck et al., 2009; Tomas et al., 2014). This is still not possible in the remaini...

متن کامل3rd College of Physicians' lecture--translational research: From bench to bedside and from bedside to bench; incorporating a clinical research journey in IgA nephritis (1976 to 2006).
Translational research (TR) can be defined as research where a discovery made in the laboratory (bench) can be applied in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of a disease. Examples of medical discoveries contributing to translational medicine (TM) include the isolation of insulin by Banting (Nobel Laureate, 1923), the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming (Nobel Laureate, 1945) and re...
