Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 04 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41581-026-01090-0Medical research increasingly depends on data-driven, large-scale, multicentric cooperation; however, such cooperation remains obstructed by fragmented procedures, heterogeneity in ethics oversight, complex legal frameworks and regulatory divergence. These structural barriers slow progress, increase costs and ultimately limit benefits to patients. Harmonized, efficient processes and coherent legal frameworks that enable effective collaborative research are feasible and urgently needed.

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 16 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41581-026-01095-9Osteoporosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) grade 4–5D constitutes a profound burden and the treatment gap remains unacceptably wide. People with advanced CKD and osteoporosis should receive comprehensive treatment based on available data, and there is an urgent need to expand the evidence base through inclusion in osteoporosis clinical trials.
Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 05 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41581-026-01092-yHealthy oceans are essential for the stability of Earth’s climate and weather patterns, biodiversity and freshwater systems. Despite their vastness, waste from human activities has fundamentally changed oceanic physical, chemical and biological characteristics, threatening human health and well-being. Urgent protective action is required, especially eliminating the extraction and burning of fossil fuels.
Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 22 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41581-026-01085-xHere, the authors discuss the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia and potential targets for treatment to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality. They also discuss the utility of testing to predict pre-eclampsia and the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease following pre-eclamptic pregnancy.

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41581-026-01089-7In this Consensus Statement, the authors provide clinical practice recommendations for the diagnosis and long-term care of people with cystinosis. In addition to cystinosis-associated kidney complications, they also provide recommendations for the management of extra-renal manifestations, including bone, gastrointestinal, endocrine and neurological disease.
