Dedifferentiated proximal tubular epithelial cells in diabetic kidney disease: pathogenic roles, repair potential, and therapeutic implications

Paper D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

This review looks at kidney filter cells in diabetic kidney disease that lose their normal job and change shape. It covers how these cells may add to damage, and how they might help the kidney repair itself. The research it covers is mainly lab work in cells and animals, not treatments tested in people. No abstract was available, so we cannot give numbers.
