MDI Bio Lab scientists discovered how zebrafish solve a basic challenge in regenerative biology—insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair.

The kidney carries out important functions via microscopic functional units called nephrons. Researchers are investigating which factors control the formation and function of specific segments of the ...

Proper function of the kidney is critical for concentrating urine, regulating blood pressure, and for the tight control of electrolyte levels in the blood. The kidney achieves these important ...

Scientists at MDI Biological Laboratory have uncovered how zebrafish regenerate functional kidney units, a discovery that could pave the way for future advances in human organ repair, according to a ...

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 ...

Chemical engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a device that simulates the blood filtering and ion transport functions of the human kidney. The technology could ...

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 ...
