Kidney aging rarely draws attention until something goes wrong. Over time, these organs quietly lose strength, filter less efficiently, and struggle to keep the body balanced. A new study now brings ...

Fish treated with SGLT2 inhibitors maintained healthier kidneys as they aged. Their kidneys preserved denser networks of capillaries, retained a stronger filtration barrier, and showed more stable ...

A fast-aging fish is giving scientists a rare, accelerated look at how kidneys grow old—and how a common drug may slow that ...

A research team based in Kumamoto University (Japan) has created complex 3D kidney tissue in the lab solely from cultured mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. These organoids could lead the way to better ...

A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has investigated kidney diseases using ultrafast ultrasound that captures 1,000 images in just one second. The research team ...

A new study suggests that a group of drugs commonly used to treat diabetes may do exactly that. The research, recently published in the journal Kidney International, shows that medications known as ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered evidence of bacteria hiding in 'noninfectious' kidney stones. These hardened ...

Researchers have created a complex kidney tissue solely from mouse embryonic stem cells. These organoids could lead the way to better kidney research and, eventually, artificial kidneys for human ...

Your kidneys are the small but mighty organs that cleanse your body of waste and keep you alive. They weigh in at only about 10 to 12 ounces each, but each day they filter about 150 quarts of blood, ...
