A study in a mouse model of immune-mediated glomerular disease and in people with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis shows activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR) signaling in podocytes by a molecule expressed in the kidney (pages 1242–1250). Blocking this axis may open new doors to treat inflammatory kidney conditions.
一项在免疫介导性肾小球疾病的小鼠模型和快速进行性肾小球肾炎患者中进行的研究表明,肾脏中表达的一种分子激活了足细胞中的表皮生长因子受体(EFGR)信号通路(第 1242-1250 页)。阻断这一通路可能为治疗炎症性肾脏疾病开辟新的途径。
