Complement induces podocyte pyroptosis in membranous nephropathy by mediating mitochondrial dysfunction
Abstract Podocyte damage mediated by in situ complement activation in the glomeruli is a key factor in the pathogenesis of membranous nephropathy (MN), but the molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Pyroptosis is a special type of programmed cell death, mediate inflammatory response and...
