INDIANAPOLIS Researchers from Indiana University have identified key genetic changes in the interstitial kidney tissue of people with diabetes, a discovery that signifies the potential for a revolutionary new genetic approach to the treatment of kidney disease. They will contribute their findings to the Kidney Precision Medicine Project s (KPMP) cell atlas, a set of maps used to classify and locate different cell types and structures within the kidney.
They shared their groundbreaking findings in a study published on February 10, 2021, in
Science Advances.
In the study, researchers investigated the kidney tissue of healthy people and people with diabetes using a technique called regional transcriptomics. This technique involves a rapid stain of kidney tissue, and then using a laser to cut out microscopic regions of interest.
