Kong M, Han S, Seu S, Han K, Lipschutz J, Park K
Kidney Res Clin Pract . 2023 Nov; 43(3):313-325. PMID: 37933114
Background: The primary cilium protrudes from the cell surface and functions as a mechanosensor. Recently, we found that water intake restriction shortens the primary cilia of renal tubular cells, and...

Oh H, Kwon O, Kong M, Park K, Baek J
Front Med (Lausanne) . 2023 Jul; 10:1206362. PMID: 37425313
Macrophages (Mø) are widely considered fundamental in the development of kidney fibrosis since Mø accumulation commonly aggravates kidney fibrosis, while Mø depletion mitigates it. Although many studies have aimed to...

Kong M, Han S, Seu S, Han K, Lipschutz J, Park K
Kidney Res Clin Pract . 2023 Jun; 42(3):312-324. PMID: 37313611
Background: The primary cilium, a microtubule-based cellular organelle present in certain kidney cells, functions as a mechano-sensor to monitor fluid flow in addition to various other biological functions. In kidneys,...

Park Y, Kong M, Noh M, Park K
Korean J Physiol Pharmacol . 2023 Apr; 27(3):257-265. PMID: 37078299
Kidney ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), is associated with the migration of inflammatory cells into the kidney. Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1),...

Kim J, Han Y, Kong M, Park K
Physiol Rep . 2022 Jun; 10(12):e15348. PMID: 35748040
Obesity affects acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by various clinical settings, including transplantation and cisplatin-cancer therapy. However, the effect of short-term food intake change remains to be defined. Here, we...

Song J, Kim H, Jeong M, Kong M, Choi H, Jun W, et al.
Nutrients . 2021 Apr; 13(5). PMID: 33922621
Metabolic syndrome is a worldwide health problem, and obesity is closely related to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer. According to WHO in 2018, the prevalence of obesity...

Kim J, Noh M, Yoon G, Jang H, Kong M, Park K
Korean J Physiol Pharmacol . 2021 Feb; 25(2):139-146. PMID: 33602884
Mitochondrial NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 () produces NADPH, which is known to inhibit mitochondrial oxidative stress. Ureteral obstruction induces kidney inflammation and fibrosis oxidative stress. Here, we investigated the role...

Park H, Kong M, Jang H, Cho J, Park E, Lee I, et al.
Kidney Int . 2020 Aug; 99(1):117-133. PMID: 32853632
Cell therapy using genome-engineered stem cells has emerged as a novel strategy for the treatment of kidney diseases. By exploiting genome editing technology, human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs)...

Noh M, Kong M, Han S, Kim J, Park K
Redox Biol . 2020 May; 34:101548. PMID: 32388270
The development of hypertension is associated with mitochondrial redox balance disruptions. NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) plays an important role in the maintenance of mitochondrial redox balance by producing mitochondrial...

Kong M, Bak S, Han K, Kim J, Park J, Park K
Redox Biol . 2018 Oct; 20:38-45. PMID: 30292083
The primary cilium, which protrudes from the cell surface, is associated with the pathogenesis of various diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Primary cilium length dynamically changes during the progression...
