The moth and the aspen tree: sodium in early postnatal development

Kidney International
R L Chevalier

Abstract

Over the past 25 years, our perception of the neonatal kidney has changed markedly from its being a "limited" organ compared with that of the adult to being extraordinarily well adapted in its role in maintaining homeostasis and making possible the rapid somatic growth necessary during this critical period of life. The present review focuses on the physiologic adaptations by the neonatal kidney in the maintenance of a positive sodium balance, which is necessary for normal growth not only in mammals but also in moths. There is a fine interplay between the developing brain, heart, thyroid, adrenals, and sympathetic nervous system, all converging on the kidney to conserve sodium, which is limited in the diet. The renin-angiotensin system plays a central role in this response and is balanced by developmental changes in the renal response to atrial natriuretic peptide, all of which contribute to sodium conservation. Over the next 25 years, advances in molecular genetics will doubtless elucidate many more facets of the mechanisms underlying neonatal sodium homeostasis. This will be particularly important as the survival of ever smaller preterm infants improves steadily.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
