Research progress on multiple cell death pathways of podocytes in diabetic kidney disease
Molecular Medicine, 2023 Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the main cause of end-stage renal disease, and its clinical manifestations are progressive proteinuria, decreased glomerular filtration rate, and renal failure. The injury and death of glomerular podocytes are the keys to

Scraping fibrosis: Expressway to the core of fibrosis [PDF]
Nature Medicine, 2011 Animal experiments using single organs as models of fibrosis spur therapeutic development toward promising targets, but testing of these therapies in human fibrosis yielded disappointing results and limited efficacy. Finding core pathways relevant in different organs that can become fibrotic will uncover molecules that will prove useful as therapeutic ...

Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2010 Renal fibrosis, characterized by tubulointerstitial fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis, is the final manifestation of chronic kidney disease. Renal fibrosis is characterized by an excessive accumulation and deposition of extracellular matrix components. This pathologic result usually originates from both underlying complicated cellular activities such as ...
