SGLT2 transcriptomic expression atlas supports a kidney-centric role for empagliflozin's benefits in heart failure

Omar Mourad, Shabana Vohra, Sara Santana Nunes

The paper presents a single-cell transcriptomic analysis of SGLT2 expression, showing it is primarily restricted to kidney epithelial cells, supporting a kidney-centric mechanism for SGLT2i benefits in heart failure.
