Normal and Dysregulated Sphingolipid Metabolism: Contributions to Podocyte Injury and Beyond
CellsPodocyte health is vital for maintaining proper glomerular filtration in the kidney. Interdigitating foot processes from podocytes form slit diaphragms which regulate the filtration of molecules through size and charge selectivity. The abundance of lipid

Innate Immune Activity in Glomerular Podocytes [PDF]
, 2017 Glomerular podocytes are specialized in structure and play an essential role in glomerular filtration. In addition, podocyte stress can initiate glomerular damage by inducing the injury of other glomerular cell types.

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Research advances on the role of ubiquitin proteasome in podocyte injury of diabetic kidney disease
Linchuang shenzangbing zazhiDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a disease of abnormal renal structure and function due to long-term hyperglycemia. Podocyte injury is a major cause of renal inflammation, glomerular filtration barrier injury and renal fibrosis.

Stem cells and fluid flow drive cyst formation in an invertebrate excretory organ.
, 2015 Cystic kidney diseases (CKDs) affect millions of people worldwide. The defining pathological features are fluid-filled cysts developing from nephric tubules due to defective flow sensing, cell proliferation and differentiation.

Role of the polarity protein Scribble for podocyte differentiation and maintenance.
PLoS ONE, 2012 The kidney filter represents a unique assembly of podocyte epithelial cells that tightly enwrap the glomerular capillaries with their complex foot process network. While deficiency of the polarity proteins Crumbs and aPKC result in impaired podocyte foot

Activation of podocyte Notch mediates early Wt1 glomerulopathy [PDF]
, 2018 The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene, WT1, encodes a zinc finger protein that regulates podocyte development and is highly expressed in mature podocytes. Mutations in the WT1 gene are associated with the development of renal failure due to the formation of ...

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, is a major and growing public health issue. It results from intestinal barrier dysfunction that leads to mesangial deposition of pathogenic galactose‐deficient IgA1 (Gd‐IgA1) and renal inflammation.
