Funded Activity Summary

The mitochondria, the “power plants” of the cell, are damaged and accumulate in the kidney in diabetes. The objective of this study is to investigate exactly how these dysfunctional mitochondria accumulate in the diabetic kidney. The ultimate aim of this study is to establish if mitochondrial health can be restored using new medicines that directly target mitochondria, which will then improve kidney function, leading to new therapies for people with diabetes.
