It is strongly suggested that an antibody to TGF-beta is a promising agent to prevent renal tubular fibrosis and apoptosis in UUO.
Renal damage progresses despite improvement of renal function after relief of unilateral ureteral obstruction in adult rats.
Results suggest that the acute recovery in function may be compromised in the long term by the progressive renal fibrosis which was found and pharmacological intervention at the time of relief of UUO, targeted to fibrotic processes, may contribute to long-term recovery of renal function.

It is shown that CLIC4-null mouse embryos exhibit impaired renal tubulogenesis, and that retromer- and branched actin-mediated trafficking on early endosome regulates apical delivery during early luminogenesis.

It is suggested that mechanical stretch is related to renal tubular apoptosis and that NO plays a protective role in this system in UUO.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia patient perception of ‘disorders of sex development’ nomenclature

The results indicate that the majority of parents and patients with CAH are dissatisfied with the term DSD, and reconsideration of the current nomenclature and ongoing dialogue between the medical community and patients will eventually lead to removal of stigmatization, better management protocols, and improved outcomes.
