Talking back: the podocytes and endothelial cells duke it out

“Talking It Out”: Deliberation With Others versus Deliberation Within

More so because, while a two-hybrid screen for proteins that interact with the replication factor DNA ligase I, but this putative interac-we can categorize RNA editing events, we cannot yet predict from species to species which genes or sites tion now is be...

Stressed-out podocytes in diabetes?

Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of ESRD in the United States.1 Although current strategies can slow disease progression,2,3 development of renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy is a distressingly common outcome in patients with diabetes.1 As a result, much effort has been devoted to understanding the mechanisms that promote glomerular damage in diabetic kidney disease ...

Development of glomerular endothelial cells, podocytes and mesangial cells in the human fetus and infant.

The process of glomerular development consists of four developmental stages: vesicle (V) stage, S-shaped body (S) stage, capillary loop (C) stage and maturation (M) stage. However, the development of glomerular endothelial, mesangial and epithelial cells in fetal and infant kidneys remains unclear. In order to determine the characteristics of human glomerular development, we investigated the pr...

Talking Biology in Logic, and Back

While computation of biological information takes center stage in today’s research, knowledge-based query processing in biological databases has not gained much attention. The complex relationship among biological entities, and the numerous possibilities make it extremely difficult for a user to query data repositories in traditional ways since the information users seek are often not stored di...
