Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing‐Based Identification of Novel Podocyte Injury‐Associated Genes From Isolated Glomeruli of Diabetic db/db Mice

Key takeaways

Researchers used mice to find new genes linked to kidney damage in diabetes. They looked at the cells that filter blood in the kidney. This was done in animals, not people, so it is early-stage research.
