Targeting Parietal Epithelial Cells to Treat Kidney Disease


Researchers from RWTH Aachen University in Germany have made a surprising discovery about parietal epithelial cells, kidney progenitor cells that continue to multiply throughout the life cycle. The scientists set out to prove that these cells could help generate new podocytes, which make up the kidney’s filtration barrier and are damaged in many types of … Continue reading Targeting Parietal Epithelial Cells to Treat Kidney Disease
