Article Synopsis
  • - Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of kidney failure linked to diabetes and obesity, but effective treatments to slow its progression are currently unavailable.
  • - Research on single-cell transcriptomic profiles from DKD patients and mouse models reveals a growing population of macrophages expressing TREM2 in mice fed a high-fat diet, which correlates with obesity and diabetes.
  • - In mice lacking TREM2, increased kidney damage and cell injury were observed, indicating that boosting TREM2 macrophages could be a promising therapeutic approach for DKD.
