Increased mechanical load remodels the glomerular matrix and accelerates Alport kidney disease: processed data and analysis code

Paper D Not peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

Researchers posted the data and analysis code behind a study of Alport syndrome, an inherited kidney disease. The work found that extra mechanical stress on the kidney's tiny filters changes their support structure and speeds the disease up. This was lab and animal work, not people. It is a data and code posting rather than a full journal article.
