Description: Learn about exciting research focused on ARPKD (autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease) and other cystic kidney diseases in children. Sara Howden, Ph.D., will share updates from her research using lab-grown cells to better understand ARPKD, a project supported by the PKD Foundation and PKD Foundation Australia. Next, Feng Qian, Ph.D., will explain how a part of the fibrocystin protein may help protect kidneys by supporting healthy mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of our cells. Finally, Christopher Banek, Ph.D., will discuss how a treatment approach, called renal denervation, may help reduce kidney cyst growth and improve heart and kidney function.
