BMC Nephrology, 2006 Background A reduction in the number of podocytes and podocyte density has been documented in the kidneys of patients with diabetes mellitus. Additional studies have shown that podocyte injury and loss occurs in both diabetic animals and humans. However,

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Podocytes form a key component of the glomerular filtration barrier. Damage to podocytes is referred to as “podocyte disease.” There are many causes of podocyte injury, including primary injury, secondary injury, and gene mutations.

Podocytes: recent biomolecular developments [PDF]
Biomolecular Concepts, 2014 AbstractPodocytes are postmitotic renal glomerular cells with multiple ramifications that extend from the cell body. Processes departing from a podocyte interdigitate with corresponding projections from neighboring cells and form an intricate web that enwraps the glomerular capillary completely.

Podocyte Lipotoxicity in CKD [PDF]
Kidney360, 2021 CKD represents the ninth most common cause of death in the United States but, despite this large health burden, treatment options for affected patients remain limited. To remedy this, several relevant pathways have been identified that may lead to novel therapeutic options.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2011 The podocyte plays a key role both in maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier and in glomerular structural integrity. Podocyte injury and loss contribute to proteinuria and progressive sclerosis. Inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) have variably decreased or caused proteinuria and sclerosis in human disease and experimental ...

Kidney360, 2023 As the population in many industrial countries is aging, the risk, incidence, and prevalence of CKD increases. In the kidney, advancing age results in a progressive decrease in nephron number and an increase in glomerulosclerosis. In this review, we focus on the effect of aging on glomerular podocytes, the post-mitotic epithelial cells critical for the

Preterm Birth Increases Susceptibility to Hyperglycemia-Induced Kidney Injury With Sex-Specific Differences in Structural and Molecular Responses. [PDF]
Endocrinol Diabetes MetabPreterm mice were delivered at 19 dpc and rendered diabetic with STZ at 6 weeks; kidneys were analysed at 18 weeks. PT‐D females showed increased atubular glomeruli, reduced proximal tubule fraction, higher albuminuria and BUN, and dysregulated fibrotic, vascular, mitochondrial, and Notch pathways.

Producing Purer Podocytes [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019 Podocytes are highly specialized cells that play a central role in many renal disorders. For many years, podocyte research has been stymied by an inability to culture these cells in a well differentiated state.

Journal of Advanced ResearchIntroduction: Podocyte senescence causes podocyte loss and glomerulopathy. Excessive fructose intake is a risk factor for podocyte injury. However, whether high fructose promotes podocyte senescence remains unknown.

Receptor activator of NF-kappaB and podocytes: towards a function of a novel receptor-ligand pair in the survival response of podocyte injury. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Glomerulosclerosis correlates with reduction in podocyte number that occurs through mechanisms which include apoptosis. Podocyte injury or podocyte loss in the renal glomerulus has been proposed as the crucial mechanism in the development of ...
