Is suppression of cyst growth in PKD enough to preserve renal function?: STAT6 inhibition is a novel promising target

The autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most frequent monogenic disorders and the most frequent among inherited kidney disorders. In fact it has a prevalence in the population of about 1/1,000 individuals, therefore it does not even satisfy the definition for r...
