Researchers from USC and Caltech identify injury-associated microenvironments and potential targets for preventing chronic kidney disease following Acute Kidney Injury.

A study led by researchers from the University of Southern California and Caltech sheds light on cell interactions following Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), a major global health concern. Using the seqFISH tool to analyze over 1,000 genes in damaged kidney tissue, the team identified injury-associated microenvironments and predicted links to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Findings offer potential targets for preventing CKD and emphasize the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in biomedical research.
