Kidney pericytes are progenitors of scar-forming interstitial myofibroblasts that appear after injury. The function of kidney pericytes as microvascular cells and how these cells detach from peritubular capillaries and migrate to the interstitial space, however, are poorly understood. Here, we used an unbiased approach to identify genes in kidney pericytes relevant to detachment and differentia...

in this paper, we consider a new class of analytic functions in the unit disk using polynomials of order alpha. we give some sufficient conditions for functions belonging to this class.

objective(s): global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (gcir) causes disturbances in brain functions as well as other organs such as kidney. our aim was to evaluate the protective effects of ellagic acid (ea) on certain renal disfunction after gcir. materials and methods: adult male wistar rats (n=32, 250-300 g) were used. gcir was induced by bilateral vertebral and common carotid arteries occlusio...

Background Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is more severe, and mortality higher in kidney transplantation (KTx) patients; it still unclear how renal functions progress the conditions affecting post-COVID-19 period. We aimed to investigate changes factors this change after COVID-19.
 Material Methods Forty-one patients who were hospitalised for COVID-19 included retrospective study. The pati...

The 21st century has come as an era of chronic diseases including chronic kidney diseases. Treatment at the end stage of kidney failure involves replacing the lost functions of kidneys by dialysis or by a kidney transplant. The end stage renal disease (ESRD) population is increasing worldwide. The National Kidney Foundation says that “rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States h...
