Intercalated cells contribute to the immune responses in renal autoimmune disease

Key takeaways

This paper looks at whether intercalated cells, a type of cell in the kidney's small tubes that helps balance acid, also play a part in the immune attack in autoimmune kidney disease. Only the title was available, so we could not check how the study was done or what it found. It is a lab-science question about how kidney cells work, not a treatment tested in people.
