Funded Activity Summary

Renal failure is a major health problem in our community. Recent in vitro studies have identified a protein that plays a critical role in the induction of inflammation and fibrosis - processes central to the progression of kidney disease. This project will use a genetic-based approach to determine if this regulator plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of experimental kidney disease. If successful, these studies will identify a new therapeutic target for the treatment of kidney disease.
