Revisiting inflammation in diabetic nephropathy: the role of the Nlrp3 inflammasome in glomerular resident cells.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is known to play a pivotal role in the regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation. Since diabetic nephropathy (DMN) is characterized by basement membrane thickening and mesangial expansion, control of ECM deposition is believed to be important in the pa...
