Single cell transcriptional and chromatin accessibility profiling redefine cellular heterogeneity in the adult human kidney.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed single nucleus ATAC (snATAC-seq) and RNA (snRNAseq) sequencing to generate paired, cell-type-specific chromatin accessibility and transcriptional profiles of the adult human kidney.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma FGF23 levels increase rapidly after acute kidney injury

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a murine folic acid-induced nephropathy model and found that plasma FGF23 levels increased significantly from baseline already after 1h of acute kidney injury (AKI), with an 18-fold increase at 24h.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mortality Associated with Low Serum Sodium Concentration in Maintenance Hemodialysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the association between predialysis serum sodium concentration and mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease, a condition in which arginine vasopressin does not affect water excretion and osmoregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological GLI2 inhibition prevents myofibroblast cell-cycle progression and reduces kidney fibrosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GLI2, but not GLI1, drives myofibroblast cell-cycle progression in cultured mesenchymal stem cell-like progenitors, and pharmacologic targeting of this pathway with darinaparsin reduced fibrosis through reduction ofGLI2 protein levels and subsequent cell- cycle arrest in myofIBroblasts.
