1. Cross-section of a kidney. Macroscopic cross-section of a kidney (A) showing the functional unit nephron (B) stained for glomerulus and proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTEC) (C) (adapted from R.Wilkinson et al, Frontiers in Immunological Research presentation, Salzburg 2012).
Source publication
This is a comprehensive study of human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) which are known to respond to and mediate the pathological process of a range of kidney diseases. It identifies various molecules expressed by PTEC and how these molecules participate in down-regulating the inflammatory process, thereby highlighting the clinical...

Ischemic stroke continues to be one of the leading causes of death and disability in the adult population worldwide. The currently used pharmacological methods for the treatment of ischemic stroke are not effective enough and require the search for new tools and approaches to identify therapeutic targets and potential neuroprotectors. Today, in the...
Biomolecular recognition via protein-protein interactions (PPI) is central to the signaling events in most physiological and pathological processes. Hence PPI are considered excellent targets for drug development. In recent years there is considerable interest in the design and development of peptide based drugs as antagonists or agonists of PPI. H...
Purpose of review:
This short review summarizes the recent development in clinical and experimental imaging techniques for coronary atherosclerosis.

Coronary atherosclerosis is the underlying disease of myocardial infarction, the leading cause of death in the industrialized world. Conventional ways of risk assessment, including...
Given the contrasting echogenic characteristics of the urinary system and their easily identifiable distortion in response to numerous pathologic processes, the sonographic examination of the kidney and bladder can provide a wealth of clinical information [1, 2]. Although performed for decades as a referral and comprehensive radiologic study, impro...
