Podocyte-Associated Talin1 Critical for Glomerular Filtration Barrier Maintenance


Researchers from Yale University School of Medicine and University of Miami have discovered that the protein talin1 is critical to the development and maintenance of podocytes, which make up the kidney filtration barrier. They found that talin1 links integrins (the receptors that keep podocytes tightly bound to the glomerular basement membrane) to the protein actin, … Continue reading Podocyte-Associated Talin1 Critical for Glomerular Filtration Barrier Maintenance
