This study shows that insulin/IGF1 signaling in podocytes regulates gene transcription by affecting spliceosome function and protein modifications.

This study identifies HA and its receptors CD44/RHAMM as key drivers of obesity-related glomerulopathy, showing their role in renal inflammation, fibrosis, and dysfunction, and suggests they as therapeutic targets.

The paper tracks extracellular RNA transfer from glomerular podocytes to renal tubular epithelial cells in vivo using a modified nucleobase and SLAMseq.
