Patients with small kidney cancer tumors may be more likely to die from the cancer if they are treated with ablation rather than nephron-sparing surgery (NSS), according to researchers. In a ...

Incidental detection has increased with ubiquitous CT/MRI, inflating early-stage ‘small renal mass’ diagnoses and complicating interpretation of a ~5% rise in <50-year incidence. Obesity, hypertension ...

A pair of USC Stem Cell mouse studies detail how progenitor cells self-renew, differentiate, and aggregate into early kidney structures, offering insights for the creation of stem cell-based ...

A recent inspection at a South Carolina drug production facility flagged several problems with how the company was producing drugs for the mass market, little more than a year after the same facility ...
