Role of Hyaluronic Acid on the Nucleation Kinetics of Calcium Oxalate Hydrates in Artificial Urine Quantified with Droplet Microfluidics

The increasing prevalence of urolithiasis in industrialized societies triggered considerable interest in how various species found in urine regulate the nucleation and growth of common kidney stone constituents such as calcium oxalate (CaOx). Yet, the role macromolecules play in kidney stone formation is often overlooked due to their low...
