Proteome analysis of laser microdissected glomeruli from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded kidneys of autopsies of diabetic patients: nephronectin is associated with the development of diabetic glomerulosclerosis

Abstract

The present study demonstrated, for the first time, that nephronectin may be associated with the development of diabetic glomerulosclerosis and that proteome analysis with FFPE kidney tissues from diabetic patients with nephropathy is useful in understanding diabetic nephropathy.
