TL;DR: In this viable model, up-regulation of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor accompanied increased epider mal growth factor receptor signaling, which may be involved in abnormal proliferation of the cyst-lining epithelia.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that nephrocystin is critically required for the differentiation of early elongating spermatids into spermatozoa in mice, and the possible roles in the formation and maintenance of Sertoli-spermatid junctions are still under investigation.

TL;DR: The results provide basic and significant information about the suitable selection of physical and physiological cues and show that cell elasticity increases with increasing culture density only in MDCK epithelial cells.

TL;DR: In conclusion, overexpression of exogenous kidney-specific Ngal reduced cystic progression and prolonged the lifespan in PKD mice, was associated with reductions in interstitial fibrosis and proliferation, and augmented apoptosis.

TL;DR: Results suggest that both decreasing Cav1 and increasing exosomal Wnt5a must be implemented during Ha‐RasV12‐driven cell transformation, and suggest that Cav1‐dependent repression of Fzd2 and exosome uptake is potentially relevant to its antitransformation activity.
