Nrf2‐Mediated Ferroptosis Is Involved in Berberine‐Induced Alleviation of Diabetic Kidney Disease
ABSTRACT Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus. Currently, there is a lack of safe and effective preventive strategies for DKD. The study aimed to explore the preventive effects and potential mechanisms of berberine (BBR) against DKD.

Pyruvate kinase M2 activation may protect against the progression of diabetic glomerular pathology and mitochondrial dysfunction [PDF]
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal disease, and therapeutic options for preventing its progression are limited. To identify novel therapeutic strategies, we studied protective factors for DN using proteomics on glomeruli from ...

Alterations of podocytes in a murine model of crescentic glomerulonephritis [PDF]
Recent observations suggest a central role of podocytes in crescent formation. In experimental glomerulonephritis podocytes disrupt the parietal epithelial layer and attach on its basement membrane, thus forming bridges between the tuft and Bowman's ...
