A new drug candidate can shrink kidney cysts
A conversation with his brother, Sorin Fedeles, who studies polycystic kidney disease, led the pair to theorize that these compounds might also be good candidates for treating kidney cysts. At the time, research in ADPKD was beginning to suggest that kidney cyst cells also experience oxidative stress, due to an abnormal metabolism that ...
Polycystic kidney disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder whereby a large number of cysts develop primarily within the kidneys, but also in other organs. PKD can be autosomal dominant (one mutated ...
Johns Hopkins Research Shows Potential for Cure for Polycystic Kidney
The research opened a new window into PKD therapeutics by demonstrating how VX-809 can reverse CFTR, so that rather than secreting fluid, it functions in fluid absorption, thereby shrinking cysts and preserving kidney function. Cebotaru continues her research in hopes of finding a novel therapy or cure for PKD.
Polycystic Kidney Disease Treatment: Gene Target Identified at Yale
New research from Yale School of Medicine, published in Nature Communications, has discovered that the gene Glis2 is a component of PKD signaling and may also be a new target for the treatment of the disease. The moment the team discovered the gene target has been described as "unforgettable" by Michael Rehman, PhD, associate research scientist ...
Scientists discover potential treatment approaches for polycystic
Scientists would like to know how cysts form in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Here, they compared two 3-D mini-kidney models. On the left, a model shows a mini kidney with a gene mutation that causes cysts to form. On the right, researchers used gene editing to correct a gene mutation, preventing the development of cysts.
Research Suggests Avenues Toward Gene Therapies for Polycystic Kidney
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common potentially lethal genetic disease—about a half million people in the United States alone suffer from the condition There is no cure, but new research could open the door to new gene therapies for treating most cases of the disease. For several decades, researchers have known that mutations in the PKD1 gene, which ...
ADPKD is Reversible in Preclinical Models, Finds New Yale Study
October 12, 2021. by Julie Parry. ADPKD is Reversible in Preclinical Models, Finds New Yale Study. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a genetic disorder, causes fluid-filled cysts to develop on the kidneys, which can impair their function. As part of the growth of cysts, the kidneys develop inflammation and fibrosis, or scarring.

Researchers identify a gene therapy target for polycystic kidney disease
July 13, 2022 — New research indicates that the polycystin-2 protein in cells' endoplasmic reticulum is important for maintaining kidney health, and its lack can contribute to autosomal dominant ...
Hope for people living with PKD: First-ever ...
In some of the best news for the kidney community in a long time, the FDA recently approved a new drug that has been shown to slow down the progression of ADPKD to kidney failure. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease that causes cysts to grow inside the kidneys. These cysts make the kidneys much larger than they should be and ...

New 3-D model offers insights into the role of glucose in a deadly
A research team supported by the National Institutes of Health has developed a new approach to better understand the biology of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an often-life-threatening genetic disorder that affects millions worldwide.
Johns Hopkins Research Shows Potential for Cure for Polycystic Kidney
Gastroenterologist and genetics researcher Liudmila Cebotaru works on gene and drug-based therapies for genetic diseases and is currently developing a treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) — for which there is no known cure. Medical management of the symptoms of PKD is at best difficult, and most often, impossible. Her work shows initial promise.
Advances in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: A Clinical
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a multiorgan disorder resulting in fluid-filled cyst formation in the kidneys and other systems. The replacement of kidney parenchyma with an ever-increasing volume of cysts eventually leads to kidney failure. Recently, increased understanding of the pathophysiology of PKD and genetic advances have led to new approaches of treatment targeting physiologic ...
Mayo Clinic Minute: Using AI to predict kidney failure in patients with
The most common form of PKD is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), where it is most often diagnosed in adults between the ages of 30 and 40. Dr. Fouad Chebib, a Mayo Clinic nephrologist and expert on polycystic kidney disease, says patients understand they face possible kidney failure. That's why researchers continue to innovate.
