Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Diabetic nephropathy (DN), distinguished by detrimental changes in the renal glomeruli, is regarded as the leading cause of death from end-stage renal disease among diabetics. Cellular senescence plays a paramount role, profoundly affecting the onset and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injuries. This study was designed to delve deeply into the pathological mechanisms between glomerulus-associated DN and cellular senescence.
