Précis Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease leading to an accumulation of cystine crystals in several organs. We aim to comprehensively describe chorioretinal cystine crystals via spectral domain ...

Urinary pH is a major determinant for kidney stone formation. Supersaturation of calcium phosphate increases rapidly as urine pH rises above 6. The prevalence of calcium phosphate stones has increased ...

Kidney stone disease, or nephrolithiasis, is a prevalent urological condition with variable pathogenesis. Among various factors, urine pH is not only considered to be a more influential factor in ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you stated that the body works to keep blood pH levels steady. My urologist has recommended that I drink baking soda in water to alkalinize my urine. Is it true ...

The man and woman wait for the guards to leave the room before posing for their photo: squatting over a chair covered in Swarovski crystals, pretending to sit. She is taking the picture, he’s ...

(A) Relative urinary cystine concentration of Slc3a1 KO and WT mice from both sexes. (B) Typical hexagonal cystine crystals from the urine of Slc3a1 KO and WT mice. Scale bar,100 μm. (C) Bladder ...

The detection of cancer-associated micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) in urine through a combination of nanowire-based miRNA extraction and machine learning (ML) analysis can fuel the development of ...

SLC7A9 knockdown reduced cystine transport into cells, hampered intracellular cystine and GSH metabolic flow, decreased GSH synthesis, and increased lipid ROS levels in gastric cancer cells. Erastin ...
