Glycogen synthase kinase-3β is required for epithelial-mesenchymal transition and barrier dysfunction in mouse podocytes under high glucose conditions
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is important for diabetic nephropathy (DN). Podocytes are specialized epithelial cells, which form a major component of the glomerular filtration barrier. Podocyte damage has been suggested to be the primary mechanism behind the albuminuria associated with DN....
