Twisted gastrulation, a BMP antagonist, exacerbates podocyte injury.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Podocyte injury is the first step in the progression of glomerulosclerosis. Previous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (Bmp7) in podocyte injury and the existence of native Bmp signaling in podocytes.

The Updates of Podocyte Lipid Metabolism in Proteinuric Kidney Disease

open access: yesKidney Diseases, 2021
Background: Podocytes, functionally specialized and terminally differentiated glomerular visceral epithelial cells, are critical for maintaining the structure and function of the glomerular filtration barrier.

Role of miRNA-671-5p in Mediating Wnt/β-Catenin-Triggered Podocyte Injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Podocyte injury and proteinuria are the most common features of glomerular disease, which is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure. Hyperactivated Wnt/β-catenin signaling is closely associated with podocyte injury, but the underlying mechanisms ...

The Evolving Importance of Insulin Signaling in Podocyte Health and Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide, occuring in approximately one-third of diabetic patients.

Trehalose, an mTOR independent autophagy inducer, alleviates human podocyte injury after puromycin aminonucleoside treatment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Glomerular diseases are commonly characterized by podocyte injury including apoptosis, actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and detachment. However, the strategies for preventing podocyte damage remain insufficient.

Recent Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine for Treatment of Podocyte Injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Podocyte is also called glomerular epithelial cell, which has been considered as the final gatekeeper of glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). As a major contributor to proteinuria, podocyte injury underlies a variety of glomerular diseases and becomes ...

Natural Products as Geroprotective Modulators in Diabetic Nephropathy: A Mechanistic Framework Integrating Aging Hallmarks and the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 Axis

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Natural products target the aging kidney in diabetic nephropathy by restoring the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 axis, reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular senescence while enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defenses.

Computational Modeling Meets 3D Bioprinting: Emerging Synergies in Cardiovascular Disease Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Emerging advances in three‐dimensional bioprinting and computational modeling are reshaping cardiovascular (CV) research by enabling more realistic, patient‐specific tissue platforms. This review surveys cutting‐edge approaches that merge biomimetic CV constructs with computational simulations to overcome the limitations of traditional models, improve ...

The podocyte power-plant disaster and its contribution to glomerulopathy

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
Proper podocyte function within the glomerulus demands a high and continuous energy supply that is mainly derived from the respiratory chain of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Endothelin and the podocyte [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Kidney Journal, 2012
In the past decade, research has advanced our understanding how endothelin contributes to proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. Data from pre-clinical and clinical studies now provide evidence that proteinuric diseases such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy as well as hypertension nephropathy are sensitive to treatment with ...
