Journal ArticleDOI
Endocytic delivery of lipocalin-siderophore-iron complex rescues the kidney from ischemia-reperfusion injury
Kiyoshi Mori,H. Thomas Lee,Dana Rapoport,Ian R. Drexler,Kirk W. Foster,Jun Yang,Kai M. Schmidt-Ott,Xia Chen,Jau Yi Li,Stacey F. Weiss,Jaya Mishra,Faisal H. Cheema,Glenn Markowitz,Takayoshi Suganami,Kazutomo Sawai,Masashi Mukoyama,Cheryl L. Kunis,Vivette D. D'Agati,Prasad Devarajan,Jonathan Barasch +19 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a single dose of Ngal, introduced during the initial phase of the disease, dramatically protects the kidney and mitigates azotemia, and it provides a unique method for their treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of glomerulonephritis during anti-TNF-α therapy for rheumatoid arthritis
Michael B. Stokes,Kirk W. Foster,Glen S. Markowitz,Farhang Ebrahimi,William H. Hines,Darren Kaufman,Brooke Moore,Daniel Wolde,Vivette D. D'Agati +8 more
TL;DR: A pathogenic role for anti-TNFalpha therapy is suggested by the close temporal relationship with development of glomerular disease, and by the improvement in clinical and laboratory abnormalities after drug withdrawal and initiation of immunosuppressive therapy in most cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two distinct amphipathic peptide antibiotics with systemic efficacy.
Jayaram Lakshmaiah Narayana,Biswajit Mishra,Tamara Lushnikova,Qianhui Wu,Yashpal S. Chhonker,Yingxia Zhang,D. Zarena,Evgeniy S. Salnikov,Xiangli Dang,Fangyu Wang,Caitlin N. Murphy,Kirk W. Foster,Santhi Gorantla,Burkhard Bechinger,Burkhard Bechinger,Daryl J. Murry,Guangshun Wang +16 more
TL;DR: While horine was potent primarily against gram-positive pathogens, verine showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and both peptides protected greater than 80% mice from infection-caused deaths, underscores the significance of horine and verine in fighting drug-resistant pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Mice with Combined Deletion of Endocytic Recycling Regulators EHD3 and EHD4
Manju George,Mark A. Rainey,Mayumi Naramura,Kirk W. Foster,Melissa S. Holzapfel,Laura L. Willoughby,Guo Guang Ying,Rasna Goswami,Channabasavaiah B. Gurumurthy,Vimla Band,Simon C. Satchell,Hamid Band +11 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that EHD-mediated endocytic traffic of key surface receptors such as VEGFR2 is essential for physiological control of glomerular function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medical education in the digital age: Digital whole slide imaging as an e-learning tool
TL;DR: The visual aids used in teaching and lecturing to students have clearly evolved over the last several decades, but there is an opportunity to revolutionize the way teaching and learning are done for all students of medicine with the advent of digital whole slide imaging.
