Peritoneal transport: getting more complicated
A high clearance of low-molecular substances such as urea and creatinine is generally considered advantageous in dialysis. The discovery in the 1990s of increased morbidity [1] and mortality [2, 3] in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with fast low-molecular (e.g. glucose, creatinine and urea) peritoneal transport (FLMT, also called ‘high transport’) was thus counterintuitive. Several explanati...
متن کاملThe more, the better: the BICD family gets bigger.
Balancing the flow of organelles and molecular complexes to and from the cell periphery is very important, and this is especially true for neurons, which are an extreme example of polarised cells. Neurons need to precisely regulate anterograde and retrograde transport of many cargoes such as mRNA, mitochondria and signalling molecules in time and space. Hence, there is a great deal of interest ...
متن کاملWnt Signaling: It Gets More Humorous with Age
In addition to its myriad of contributions in development, disease and regeneration, recent research implicates the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling cascade in yet another biological process - aging. The latest role of Wnt uncovers new complexities and opportunities for modulating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in regenerative medicine.
متن کاملThe thyroid axis just got more complicated.
As a first-year medical student, you could count on the simplicity and elegance of the thyroid axis, because all its details had apparently been elucidated. Hypothalamic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) promoted the synthesis, release, and glycosylation of pituitary thyrotropin, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which in turn acted on the thyroid follicle, leading to the synthesis and relea...
متن کاملObesity in the elderly: more complicated than you think.
The number of obese older adults is on the rise, although we lack a proper definition of obesity in this age group. The ambiguity is primarily related to sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle and gain in fat that come with aging. Whether to treat and how to treat obesity in the elderly is controversial because of a paucity of established guidelines, but also because of the obesity paradox-...
