As part of the Urogenital Cell group, CAI kidney cells also include Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells. HRPTEpC play pivotal roles in kidney function, glucose & protein reabsorbtion, and diabetes-associated glucotoxicity. HRPTEpC from Cell Applications, Inc. recently helped elucidate how metabolic enzymes respond to energy depletion.
Together, these two cell types offer a strong 1-2 punch in the research battle against serious, and potentially fatal loss of kidney function. A number of conditions are related to dysfunction in this organ pair, including urinary tract infections, polycystic kidney disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes and end-stage renal failure. While the list of maladies is substantial, kidney disease can often be addressed by early detection, and hopes remain high to successfully treat more advances stages.
