A new surgical model or studying the healing response of renal tissue in the presence of collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrices
The treatment of renal trauma can involve the surgical removal of part of a patient's kidney, which leads to scarring, distortion of the renal architecture, and potentially renal insufficiency. Current research suggests that the implantation of collagen-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) extra-cellular …

Oxalate nephrosis in a population of South Australian koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus).
Renal disease had been reported to occur at high prevalence in the koala population of the Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia, but the cause was unclear. Kidney crystals consistent with calcium oxalate had been observed in several koalas, suggesting that oxalate nephrosis may occur. The aims of …
