Mice lacking Notch3 show deficient renal autoregulation. The aim of the study was to investigate the mechanisms involved ... -
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 knockout and heterozygote mice are protected from hydronephrosis and kidney fibrosis after unilateral ureteral obstruction
Tveitarås, Maria Kathrine; Skogstrand, Trude; Leh, Sabine Maria; Helle, Frank; Iversen, Bjarne Magnus; Chatziantoniou, Christos; Reed, Rolf K.; Hultström, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-16)Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (Mmp2) is a collagenase known to be important in the development of renal fibrosis. In unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) the obstructed kidney (OK) develops fibrosis, while the contralateral ...
