Role of Vitamin D in Maintaining Renal Epithelial Barrier Function in Uremic Conditions

Role of Vitamin D in Maintaining Renal Epithelial Barrier Function in Uremic Conditions

As current kidney replacement therapies are not efficient enough for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment, a bioartificial kidney (BAK) device, based on conditionally immortalized human proximal tubule epithelial cells (ciPTEC), could represent an attractive solution. The active transport activi...
