The Mercury: UTD researchers uncover novel kidney cell renewal

Dr. Jie Zheng, Dr. Mengxiao Yu, and Dr. Yingyu Huang’s research uncovering a previously unobserved renewal process in the kidney was recently featured in the UTD publication The Mercury.

The broad impact of our research [is that] β€” because it’s a new phenomenon we discovered β€” I think in [the] future we will explore how this tubular organelle actuation process changes with the disease progression.

Dr. Mengxiao Yu
