Abstract excerpt
Degradation of podocyte structural integrity and function are hallmarks of proteinuric chronic kidney disease. In vivo, injury of podocytes manifests itself in the form of disruption of foot process morphology and associated cytoskeletal architecture, de-differentiation, and loss of adhesion to the glomerular basement membrane. Given the critical role played by this highly specialized cell type in maintaining...
