Advancing Organoid Engineering for Tissue Regeneration and Biofunctional Reconstruction.

Tissue damage and functional abnormalities in organs have become a considerable clinical challenge. Organoids are often applied as disease models and in drug discovery and screening. Indeed, several studies have shown that organoids are an important strategy for achieving tissue repair and biofunction reconstruction.

Role of STAT3/mTOR pathway in chronic kidney injury.

STAT3/mTOR pathway plays an important role in inflammation, cell growth, and proliferation. However, the role of STAT3/mTOR pathway in chronic kidney injury remains unclear. Folic acid was used to induce kidney injury C57BL/6 mouse model followed by analysis of serum creatinine, renal weight ratio changes, renal pathological changes and STAT3/mTOR pathway changes.

Impact of twice- or three-times-weekly maintenance hemodialysis on patient outcomes: A multicenter randomized trial.

Aim: Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) frequency is associated with survival and complication rates. Achieving the optimal balance between healthcare, quality of life (QOL), and medical costs is challenging. We compared complications, inflammatory status, nutritional status, and QOL between patients with different MHD frequencies.

Forsythiaside A alleviates renal damage in adriamycin-induced nephropathy.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common urinary system disease that carries a poor progrnosis due to nonresponsivess to current treatments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of Forsythiaside (FA) in a rat model of adriamycin-induced nephropathy (AN). Compared with control group, FA treatment significantly reduced proteinuria, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels and reduced the number of apoptotic cells in the kidneys.
