Loss of genome maintenance is linked to mTOR complex 1 signaling and accelerates podocyte damage
20 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
DNA repair is essential for preserving genome integrity. Podocytes, postmitotic epithelial cells of the kidney filtration unit, bear limited regenerative capacity, yet their survival is indispensable for kidney health. Podocyte loss is a hallmark of the aging process and of many diseases, but the underlying factors remain unclear. We investigated the consequences of DNA damage in a podocyte-specific knockout...
