The resurgence of research in podocyte biology over the past decade underscores the
importance of this unique cell in preserving glomerular structure and function. A greater
understanding of the complex signaling mechanisms governing podocyte biology in health
and disease will ultimately lead to novel therapeutic avenues for treating disorders of the
podocyte.
