A Vanderbilt-led research team has made a significant breakthrough in developing advanced dialysis membranes using atomically thin materials like graphene. These innovative membranes, called ...

Glomerulus, the fundamental filtering unit of the kidney ... filtration barrier (GFB), consists of three main components: glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs), the glomerular basement membrane ...

Researchers develop graphene-based dialysis membranes that enhance filtration efficiency while reducing protein loss for improved treatment.

Inside the machine the blood and dialysis fluid are separated by a partially permeable membrane the ... As the filtration only works when they are connected, kidney patients must monitor their ...
