About this Research Topic
The goal of the current Research Topic is to provide a comprehensive overview of topics that cover the centrality of metabolic rewiring and mitochondrial function in different settings of renal disorders including those originating from primary alterations of mitochondria and extending to those in which metabolic reprogramming and mitochondria dysfunction has been more recently discovered. Both glomerulopathies and tubulopathies will be covered, as well as description of key metabolic needs in the individual districts in physiological conditions and during development will be covered.
The scope is to provide an up to date view of the metabolic requirements of glomerular and tubular structures of the nephron during development, as well as in adult physiology and in disease.
