Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sharon A C Heemskerk"
- Recent research by Sharon A C Heemskerk focuses on the interactions between endothelial cells and podocytes in kidney diseases, particularly in conditions like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and diabetic nephropathy.
- Heemskerk's study on endothelial endothelin receptor A expression highlights its association with podocyte injury and oxidative stress, indicating a critical role for endothelin-1 signaling in the progression of FSGS.
- Additionally, her work on endoglin reveals its involvement in endothelial cell activation through Akt signaling in the context of diabetic nephropathy, contributing to inflammation and vascular changes in kidney injury.
