Recent advances in therapeutic signaling pathways in polycystic kidney disease: insights from contemporary translational disease models- a narrative review

BMC Nephrology

This is a narrative review synthesizing experimental and translational findings across multiple model systems; it raises mechanistic questions and identifies therapeutic targets rather than reporting clinical trial results or definitive evidence from human studies.
