From simple markers assessing kidney function, current renal research delves into understanding the diseases at the cellular and molecular levels and not just at treating, but at improving quality of life, arresting progression and providing personalized diagnostics and therapy. This narrative review highlights the improvements in diagnostic applications of kidney disease and briefly discusses a few notable biomarkers emphasizing the high throughput omics technologies, as well as contemporary perspectives on renal research. A thorough literature search was performed on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Medline. Suitable Mesh terms were included for the search strategy, and relevant evidence was documented. Language models and pharmacognosy, along with other omics strategies, impose a better understanding of the renal disease, and the remarkable discoveries of noninvasive biomarkers, urine 273-peptide classifier, and urine peptides-based fibrosis classifier have unraveled the associations between mechanistic studies and novel therapeutic drugs. Strides in biomarker research have been able to delineate stages and types with superior specificity and sensitivity, thereby providing a better diagnosis. Renal research reflects a powerful, dynamic, and multifaceted field that drives better advancements and discoveries in personalized medicine, drug interventions, and patient-centered outcomes.

Existing treatments, including cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, do not reverse or slow the disease course but only treat its manifestations. This limitation has brought attention to the need for treatments that modify the amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau pathology of the disease. One recent advancement in AD treatment is donanemab, a monoclonal antibody intended to clear Aβ plaques in the brain. It targets pyroglutamyl(3)-Aβ protein (3–42) to remove Aβ deposits and alter the disease course. This review explores the timeline of donanemab use from discovery to clinical use. The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the drug are discussed along with typical and suboptimal preclinical and clinical trial results in terms of efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Thus, donanemab is more effective than donepezil and rivastigmine in removing plaques and improving cognition. At the same time, it is not devoid of safety concerns that are typical of the majority of amyloid-targeted medicines. The control to end the treatment after plaque cleaning is a unique selling point for some patients, making it more attractive. The innovation and development of donanemab from research to clinical practice are a clear representation of the role of the field of translational medicine in the practical application of new knowledge in the treatment of AD.</p>","PeriodicalId":32096,"journal":{"name":"Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine","volume":"11 2","pages":"105-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cdt3.155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
