Defective Energy Production in Kidney Cells Key to Fibrosis and CKD


A team of researchers led by scientists from Perelman School of Medicine at University of Pennsylvania has found that defective fatty acid metabolism in kidney tubular epithelial cells plays a key role in the development of fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. Genetic analysis of healthy and fibrotic human kidney tissue led to their discovery of … Continue reading Defective Energy Production in Kidney Cells Key to Fibrosis and CKD
