On the other hand, podocytes are the culprits in diabetic nephropathy in that a reduced nephrin expression may lead to podocyte foot process broadening and effacement, while increased VEGF ...
In addition, the study linked this energy imbalance to a “flattening” of key podocyte structures, which is known as foot process effacement. This disrupts the filtration function of the ...
