A Vaspin–HSPA1L complex protects proximal tubular cells from organelle stress in diabetic kidney disease

Nakatsuka et al. discover that the adipokine vaspin contributes to maintaining proximal tubular cell (PTC) homeostasis by ameliorating organelle stress. They find that upon internalization, vaspin interacts with the heat shock protein HSPA1L and that the proteins cooperate to prevent metabolic stres...
