Periostin in diabetic kidney disease: mechanistic insights, biomarkers, and therapeutic perspectives.

Paper D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

This review looks at a protein called periostin that may play a role in kidney damage from diabetes. It summarizes research done in animals and cells, not in people yet. The goal is to find new targets for future drugs. This is early-stage science that helps us understand how the disease works.
