A team led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers says it has identified two protein biomarkers in urine that may one day be used to better diagnose acute interstitial nephritis, an underdiagnosed but treatable kidney disorder that impairs renal function in the short term and can lead to chronic kidney disease, permanent damage or renal failure if left unchecked.

Using the platform, researchers recorded the proteins that were secreted by these stem cells, and how these secretions changed with time. The information was used to create a protein cocktail, raising the possibility of aiding an injury without the use of stem cells.

Scientists have discovered that drinking a cup of coffee can stimulate "brown fat" the body’s own fat-fighting defenses, which could be the key to tackling obesity and diabetes.
