For August we are highlighting a paper by Raheev Rohatgi and co-workers entitled “Flow induced prostaglandin E2 release regulates Na and K transport in the collecting duct”. Listen along as Dr. Rohatgi and Editor-in-Chief Tom Kleyman discuss the role of tubular flow in activating phospholipase A2 and excretion of PGE2, and the role of PGE2 in regulating ion transport in collecting ducts.
Daniel Flores, Yu Liu, Wen Liu, Lisa M. Satlin, and Rajeev Rohatgi.
