Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Nicole van Es"
- Nicole van Es's research primarily focuses on the genetic factors involved in kidney damage and albuminuria, particularly through the use of consomic rat models to investigate the roles of specific chromosomes in these conditions.
- One significant study identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on rat chromosome 8 that influences the development of albuminuria, underscoring the genetic complexities involved in kidney disorders.
- Another aspect of her work demonstrated that transferring chromosomes between rat strains can eliminate severe albuminuria in aging hypertensive rats, providing insights into potential genetic interventions for kidney injury.
