A podocyte-specific damage score to enable mapping of disease progression

Key takeaways

This short journal piece describes a new score that measures damage to podocytes, the cells that build the kidney's filter. The goal is to map how far a person's kidney disease has progressed. It is a commentary on someone else's research, so it reports no new results of its own.
