| Core Tip |
This article sheds light on the interesting study by Zha et al. In this experimental study, a novel pathogenic pathway has been described. A novel concept was also demonstrated, namely the crosstalk between the podocytes and the proximal tubular epithelial cells. The crosstalk involves the secretion of interleukin 6 by the proximal tubular epithelial cells, which aggravates nephrin endocytosis in the podocytes using the Rab5 activation pathway. The application of nicotinamide mononucleotide nicotinamide mononucleotide intercepted the pathway. A new horizon for therapeutics could be further explored using the nicotinamide mononucleotide. |
