The basic structural and functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which performs a multitude ... cells of the Henle's loop and distal tubules. Irx genes, possibly together with BRN1, control ...

This image shows a reconstitution of nephron structures by propagated nephron progenitors derived from human iPS cells. Yellow arrowheads: glomeruli, Black arrowheads: renal tubules. Scale bar: 20 ...

Each kidney contains over one million microscopic filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron is made of a tubule and is responsible for 'cleaning' the blood by removing urea and excess water ...

Most drug-induced renal injuries affect the proximal tubules. Drug toxicity initially targeted to the glomerulus or more distal parts of the nephron may also cause secondary injury to proximal ...

by inhibiting the sodium/chloride cotransporter located in the distal convoluted tubule of a nephron (the functional unit of ...
