MDI Biological Laboratory Scientist Identifies Process Critical to Kidney Function May 3, 2021
BAR HARBOR, MAINE Our kidneys are charged with the extraordinary task of filtering about 53 gallons of fluid a day, a process that depends on podocytes, tiny, highly specialized cells in the cluster of blood vessels in the kidney where waste is filtered that are highly vulnerable to damage.
In research at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, a team led by Iain Drummond, Ph.D., director of the Kathryn W. Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Aging, has identified the signaling mechanisms underlying podocyte formation, or morphogenesis. The discovery opens the door to the development of therapies to stimulate the regeneration of these cells, which are vital to ridding the body of toxins. ....

2021-04-22 04:35:50 GMT2021-04-22 12:35:50(Beijing Time) Xinhua English SYDNEY, April 22 (Xinhua) Australian researchers have received a multi-million dollar grant to study the long-term effects of COVID-19 and potential links between the virus and unborn babies. Announcement of the 2.3 million Australian dollar (about 1.8 million U.S. dollars) grant was made by the state government of Victoria on Thursday. The funds will help scientists at the Murdoch Children s Research Institute (MCRI) investigate causes leading to long-term COVID-19 issues such as fatigue, cognitive difficulties and breathing problems. Researchers also hope to gain greater insight into the potential transfer of the coronavirus to unborn babies, as well as the effects of the virus on a placenta. ....
