Uncovering the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, uncover novel pathogenic role of a surface collagen-binding protein “Cnm,” on Streptococcus mutans, a dental caries-causing bacteria, in the development of IgAN. Their findings open avenues for novel therapeutic interventions targeting dental caries to improve kidney health in patients with IgAN.
