Crosstalk Between SMPDL3b and NADPH Oxidases Mediates Radiation-Induced Damage of Renal Podocytes
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for various tumors localized in the abdomen or pelvis often suffer from radiation nephrotoxicity as collateral damage. Renal podocytes are vulnerable targets for ionizing radiation and contribute to radiation-induced

Podocyte Biology and the Emerging Understanding of Podocyte Diseases [PDF]
American Journal of Nephrology, 2003 The understanding of the unique molecular apparatus of the podocyte has increased dramatically in recent years. This new knowledge has improved the diagnosis and classification of the diseases that have been termed podocytopathies. Podocyte injury frequently leads to reorganization of the slit diaphragm and reorganization of the foot process structure.

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.

Epigenetic Alterations in Podocytes in Diabetic Nephropathy
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Recently, epigenetic alterations have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications. Kidney podocytes, which are glomerular epithelial cells, are important cells that form a slit membrane—a barrier for proteinuria ...

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 ...

Piezo1-Mediated Mechanotransduction: Orchestrating the Dynamic Response of Podocytes and Parietal Epithelial Cells to Mechanical Stress. [PDF]
Acta Physiol (Oxf)ABSTRACT Aim The glomerulus is a specialized microvascular unit that filters plasma through the coordinated function of podocytes and parietal epithelial cells (PECs). From this perspective, the glomerulus functions like a living hydrogeological filtration system.

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

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.
