Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition
(2019)Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ... -
Checkpoint modulation in chronic hepatitis B: From hypothesis to approval

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis: Pathophysiology and current treatment options
(2019)Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a life-threatening complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), which may even occur after patients have switched to hemodialysis (HD) or undergone kidney transplantation. ... -
The genetic map of diabetic nephropathy: Evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis of genetic association studies
(2020)Despite the extensive efforts of scientists, the genetic background of diabetic nephropathy (DN) has not yet been clarified. To elucidate the genetic variants that predispose to the development of DN, we conducted a ... -
Microbiome in multiple sclerosis; where are we, what we know and do not know
(2020)An increase of multiple sclerosis (MS) incidence has been reported during the last decade, and this may be connected to environmental factors. This review article aims to encapsulate the current advances targeting the study ... -
Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration
(2013)Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common cause of blindness in older individuals. To accelerate the understanding of AMD biology and help design new therapies, we executed a collaborative genome-wide association ... -
A systematic review and meta-analysis of genetic association studies for the role of inflammation and the immune system in diabetic nephropathy
(2017)Background: Despite the certain contribution of metabolic and haemodynamic factors in diabetic nephropathy (DN), many lines of evidence highlight the role of immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms. To elucidate the ... -
A systematic review and meta-analysis of pharmacogenetic studies in patients with chronic kidney disease
(2021)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important global public health problem due to its high prevalence and morbidity. Although the treatment of nephrology patients has changed considerably, ineffectiveness and side effects ... -
A unifying model of glucotoxicity in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells and the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin
(2020)Background: Glucotoxicity in renal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may exert their renoprotective effect by ...
