Research project funded by NIAID to study IgG glycosylation patterns in lupus nephritis, aiming to identify biomarkers and therapeutic targets by characterizing signaling pathways in kidney podocytes.
Description
This project aims to establish sugar modifications in immunoglobulins that initiate processes within the blood filtering cells of the kidney, known as podocytes, which lead to lupus nephritis. The research will generate new insights and advanced concepts to expand the mechanistic understanding and therapeutic targets for these patients.
