with hypertrophy and hyperplasia of distal convoluted tubule cells, principal cells, and intercalated cells. This remodeling increases the reabsorptive capacity of the distal nephron by activating ...

Vasopressin also regulates salt transport in the distal convoluted tubule, which is present ... stimulation of aquaporin-2 exocytosis. Intercalated cells mediate acid–base transport and are ...

Methods used to achieve this include the culture of adult human proximal tubule (HK-2) cells in a photocrosslinked hydrogel within a molded hollow tube. To support long-term culture, gravity-assisted ...
