Article Synopsis
- Studies show kidney disease is linked to viral infections, causing kidney injury through systemic inflammation and direct infection of kidney cells.
- Research using an immortalized human podocyte cell line (HPC) infected with lentivirus revealed strong immune responses and pathways related to cell death, indicating compromised cell viability.
- The findings suggest that these lentivirus-infected HPC cells serve as a valuable model for studying how viral infections specifically damage podocytes, separate from other stressors like Adriamycin.
