Circ_0024390 promotes renal tubular EMT through the miR-6890-3p/CHD4 axis: implications for renal interstitial fibrosis

Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

A small RNA molecule called circ_0024390 made kidney cells turn into scar tissue in a lab dish. The study used human kidney cells to test this. It was done in cells, not in people yet. This helps explain how kidney scarring happens.
