Arriving early or late can have big consequences for early-stage cells that gather to form a new kidney, a team of USC researchers discovered. The scientists showed how progenitor cells that form the ...

A pair of USC Stem Cell mouse studies detail how progenitor cells self-renew, differentiate, and aggregate into early kidney structures, offering insights for the creation of stem cell-based ...

The kidney protection is complicated because ACE inhibitors always increase the creatinine level, making it look like they hurt the kidney. Deep inside the kidney, blood flow to the nephron (the ...

Subclinical structural features in kidneys from living donors that can only be seen with a microscope modestly contribute to predicting the long-term success of a transplant, new research suggests. In ...

Orthostatic hypotension may be asymptomatic and should be assessed, according to investigators. Middle-aged adults with orthostatic hypotension experience greater kidney function decline than those ...

Lower kidney function is associated with elevated Alzheimer’s blood biomarkers, raising implications for dementia diagnosis ...
