Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our kidneys are true multi-talents: every day, they filter our blood more than 200 times, achieving a filtration capacity of about 1800 L/day. They detoxify our bodies and eliminate superfluous and toxic substances from the bloodstream.
At the same time, they regulate our blood pressure, fluid balance, acid-base balance and electrolytes. In addition, our kidneys produce important hormones, such as erythropoietin. As efficient as our kidneys are, if their parenchyma is damaged, regeneration is not possible or only possible to a very limited extent. Therefore, prevention, early detection, modern diagnostics and adapted therapies are of great importance. The discovery and description of the mechanisms and pathways involved is the prerequisite for this, and these are considered in this Special Issue.
We therefore invite you to submit papers dealing with signaling pathways within the kidney or related to the kidney to this Special Issue of Cells.
Prof. Dr. Stefan Reuter
Guest Editor
