    Nobel Prize for Medicine 2016 awarded to Professor Ohsumi of Japan for his discovery of the molecular and cell biological pathways of autophagy.

    Autophagy has been shown to be an essential mechanism by which cells remove defective molecular and cell organelle components, thereby renewing themselves constantly and especially after cell injury. Dysfunction of this pathway has since been shown to be important in the development of many acute and chronic degenerative diseases, including AKI and CKD. This has been reviewed recently in KI,

    and continues to be at the forefront of research directed at the pathophysiology and potential novel avenues of therapeutic interventions for kidney diseases.

    With the January 2016 issue, Elsevier will be the official publisher of Kidney International, an official publication of the International Society of Nephrology. Read the full press release.

    I am delighted that ISN managed to find a great publisher in Elsevier. Considering the big changes happening in the field of medical publishing, it is very reassuring that Kidney International is such an attractive journal to Elsevier. ISN is proud to have such an important pillar to its leading Global Education portfolio, currently delivering tailored education to a broad range of kidney professionals worldwide, through publications, meetings and a content-rich online portal.

    About KI

    Kidney International (KI) is the official journal of the International Society of Nephrology. Under the editorial leadership of Dr. Detlef O. Schlöndorff (USA), KI is one of the most cited journals in nephrology and widely regarded as the world's premier journal on the development and consequences of kidney disease.

    KI is peer-reviewed and publishes original research in both basic science and clinical medicine. These include the latest clinical studies on emerging developments in renal medicine and the highest level of original research studies in therapy and epidemiology of acute and chronic kidney failure, as well as their translational aspects and genetic basis. In addition relevant aspects of renal physiology, cell biology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, morphology and new technological developments are reported with the over-all aim of informing the renal researcher and the practicing nephrologist on all aspects of renal research.

    The journal reflects the field through critical reviews and original articles, commentaries, editorial updates on recent developments and news features, recommendations and guidelines resulting from expert consensus meetings, aspects of nephrology from the developing world, policy issues, remarkable images, and problem-focused articles for the diagnosis and treatment of renal patients. Kidney International is published monthly.
