CD44 impacts glomerular parietal epithelial cell changes in the aged mouse kidney

Abstract CD44 contributes to the activation of glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PECs). Although CD44 expression is higher in PECs of healthy aged mice, the biological role of CD44 in PECs in this context remains unclear. Accordingly, young (4 months) and aged (24 months) CD44−/− mice were compa...
