The very rare thyroid-like carcinoma of the kidney (TLCK) is microscopically similar to thyroid follicular cell carcinoma (TFCC). Differential diagnosis with secondary thyroid tumors depends on ...

Renal tubular dysgenesis has been reported in isolated cases of neonatal hemochromatosis (NH). We hypothesized that fetal liver injury in NH impairs proximal renal tubular development via impaired ...

A team led by researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has developed advanced synthetic kidney structures that combine previously separate organoid components. The new “assembloids,” ...

The stage of a cancer means how big it is and if it has spread. The grade means how abnormal the cancer cells look under a microscope. Your doctor uses this information to help them decide which ...

A research effort led by scientists from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) has led to the development of more mature and complex lab-grown kidney progenitor ...

The kidneys are organs of the urinary system - which remove excess water, mineral ions and urea. Blood is transported to the kidney through the renal artery. The blood is filtered at a high pressure ...
