Pathogenic role of CDA1 via its profibrotic action in diabetic nephropathy

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We cloned a CDA1 several years ago and found that it played a major role in controlling a series of molecular events leading to production and accumulation of extracellular matrix causing scarring, as seen in diabetic nephropathy. This project aims to study the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of CDA1 in the context of diabetic nephropathy, hence allowing us to consider CDA1 as a molecular target for drug development to treat this condition and related complications.
