A cross model spatial and single-cell atlas reveals the conserved involvement of osteopontin in polycystic kidney disease

Sarah Jane Miller, Hua Zhong, Weidong Wu…·Kurt A. Zimmerman

This study constructs a cross-model spatial and single-cell atlas of PKD, identifying Spp1 (osteopontin) as a conserved driver of disease progression through its signaling to Ly6clo monocytes.

Nephronophthisis-associated FBW7 mediates cyst-dependent decline of renal function in ADPKD

Maulin Mukeshchandra Patel, Vasileios Gerakopoulos, Eleni Petsouki…·Leonidas Tsiokas

This study investigates the role of FBW7 in kidney function decline in NPHP and ADPKD, finding that FBW7 loss in the medulla causes fibrosis while its accumulation in the cortex links cysts to renal dysfunction.
