Transforming growth factor beta1, microRNAs, lncRNA and diabetic nephropathy
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE: Kidney disease is one of the most common complications of diabetes which can lead to renal failure needing dialysis or transplantation, and is therefore a major healthcare problem. This project will identify novel mechanisms and factors involved in the development of diabetic kidney disease and approaches to target them. The results could lead to much needed newer biomarkers for early detection and therapies to curb the progression of diabetic kidney disease, and thereby reduce mortality in the affected population.
