In vivo<i>Drosophilia</i>genetic model for calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis

Abstract excerpt

Nephrolithiasis is a major public health problem with a complex and varied etiology. Most stones are composed of calcium oxalate (CaOx), with dietary excess a risk factor. Because of complexity of mammalian system, the details of stone formation remain to be understood.
