CDYL inhibition reduces acute kidney injury in mice: study

Aug. 14, 2024

This cell death in AKI does not occur by necrosis but by other cell death mechanisms such as pyroptosis, among others. Recent findings have implicated chromodomain Y-like (CDYL) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, but its role in AKI has not been established.
