Ectopic Notch Activation in Developing Podocytes Impairs Slit Diaphragm Formation and Induces Abnormal Podocyte Differentiation

Podocytes are terminally differentiated epithelial cells which regulate glomerular permselectivity by their cell-cell junctions, known as slit diaphragms (SD). Notch signaling regulates podocyte cell fate specification and downregulation of Notch targets occurs with terminal podocyte differentiation...
