Understanding the Immune System’s Role in Kidney Disease
The review "Kidney immunology from pathophysiology to clinical translation" by Prof. Kurts and colleagues explores how the immune system shapes kidney health and disease. It explains new discoveries about immune cells inside the kidney, how they drive inflammation, and how kidney immune activity can affect the whole body. The authors highlight how these insights could lead to better diagnostics and new treatments for kidney disorders. The article was published in Nature Reviews Immunology.
