Abstract excerpt
New data indicate that abnormal glomerular endothelial cell (GEC)-podocyte crosstalk plays a critical role in diabetic nephropathy (DN). The aim of our study is to investigate the role of exosomes from high glucose (HG)-treated GECs in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and dysfunction of podocytes. In this study, exosomes were extracted from GEC culture supernatants and podocytes were incubated with the...
