NAD(+) Metabolism and Interventions in Premature Renal Aging and Chronic Kidney Disease
Premature aging causes morphological and functional changes in the kidney, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a global public health issue with far-reaching consequences, including cardio-vascular complications, increased frailty, shortened li ...
MDPI2023New roles of Bicc1 in cilia formation, cell adhesion, and in adult kidneys.
Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1), an RNA-Binding protein, is a ciliopathy-associated protein. In development, Bicc1 is necessary for left-right axis specification. Loss of Bicc1 in mice also associates with polycystic kidney development. In human, two hereditary polycy ...
EPFL2023Influence of aerosol acidity and organic ligands on transition metal solubility and oxidative potential of fine particulate matter in urban environments
Athanasios Nenes, Gerhard Lammel
The adverse health effects of air pollution around the world have been associated with the inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Such outcomes are thought to be related to the induction of oxidative stress due to the excess formation of reactive o ...
Amsterdam2023Fate of parasites and viruses in calcium hydroxide-treated urine in relation to temperature and moisture content
Human urine can be used as fertilizer and technologies, such as alkaline-urine treatment, are being developed to enable easier re-use. There is, however, a risk of pathogens being present in the urine. This hygiene assessment examined inactivation of three ...
2022Assessment of Stiffness of Large to Small Arteries in Multistage Renal Disease Model: A Numerical Study
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Patrick Segers
Arterial stiffness (AS), as assessed via pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a major biomarker for cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the mechanisms responsible for the changes in PWV in the presence of kidney ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Biodegradation and Antimicrobial Properties of Zinc Oxide-Polymer Composite Materials for Urinary Stent Applications
Research advancements in the field of urinary stents have mainly been in the selection of materials and coatings to address commonly faced problems of encrustation and bacterial adhesion. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) and polypropylene (PP) were eva ...
