Dysregulation of the Upb1-3-ureidopropionate Pathway Impairs Fatty Acid Metabolism and Exacerbates Acute Kidney Injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent clinical syndrome associated with high mortality and lacking effective therapies, largely due to incomplete understanding of its pathogenic mechanisms. Proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs), with their high metabolic demand, represent the primary targets of injury in AKI. We...
