Nicosia: New scientific data from the Center of Excellence in Biobanking and Biomedical Research at the University of Cyprus (biobank.cy) and the Medical School of the University of Cyprus create prospects for the treatment of a rare hereditary kidney disease, called Alport syndrome, a press release by the biobank.cy Center of Excellence says.
According to Cyprus News Agency, the study was published recently in the leading scientific journal with the greatest scientific impact internationally in the field of nephrology, Kidney International. The promising findings for a disease with no available effective treatments are the result of pioneering research conducted at the Center in recent years with the aim of discovering new drugs for this specific syndrome.
The publication in the leading scientific journal, Kidney International, highlights the contribution of the Cyprus research community to international scientific progress, in cutting-edge fields, highlighting prospects for new treatments for rare diseases. Moreover, the press release notes that this is yet another highly prestigious scientific publication in the field of nephrology, close to several others from the same team, which attracts international interest.
