Kidney Cortex

The kidney cortex is the outer portion of the kidney, composed of numerous nephrons and blood vessels.
It is responsible for the initial filtration of blood and the reabsorption of water, nutrients, and other substances.
The kidney cortex plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as regulating blood pressure and the production of hormones such as renin and erythropoietin.
Studying the kidney cortex is important for understanding normal kidney function and the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, and chronic kidney disease.
Researchers can utilize PubCompare.ai, an AI-driven platform, to optimisze their kidney cortex research by easily locating the best protocols from literature, preprints, and patents using AI-driven comparisons to enhance reproducibiltiy and accuracy, streamlining the research process and finding the most effective methods.

After procured rat cortical slices had equilibrated with room temperature, some slices were used for viable imaging experiments (described below) and some slices from each rat were immersed in various aldehyde fixative solutions. This study design used immersion fixation methods to control for the effects of slice procurement in the viable, unfixed treatment group and to model the treatment of human autopsy or biopsy samples. However, it should be noted that perfusion and immersion fixation methods may affect the MRI properties of tissue differently. The fixative solutions consisted of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (290 mOsm/kg) with 4% formaldehyde, 4% glutaraldehyde, or 2% formaldehyde plus 2% glutaraldehyde (referred to as Karnovsky's solution) (24 ). All solutions had a pH of 7.4. The cortical slice samples were immersed in a volume excess of their respective fixative solutions (>100:1) at room temperature for 3–4 h, then stored in a similar volume of fresh fixative solution at 4°C for 10+ days to complete the chemical reactions of fixation. After this period, the slices were gradually equilibrated to room temperature, then imaged in the perfusion chamber while immersed in their respective fixative solutions. After these MRI measurements (described below), the samples were washed over 12 h with four to five PBS solution changes at room temperature and then reimaged using the perfusion chamber setup while immersed in PBS.
