This study shows that the claudin-1 inhibitor PDS-0330 reduces urinary albumin excretion and attenuates Src/Akt/mTOR signaling in podocytes of diabetic mice.

This study uses kidney organoids to demonstrate that puberulic acid causes nephrotoxicity by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.

This study shows FAK inhibition leads to AQP2 membrane accumulation by blocking endocytosis and causing actin depolymerization in renal cells.
