Small Molecule Seen to Slow Alport’s Progression in Mouse Model of Disease
A small-inhibitor molecule targeting a protein called lysyl oxidase like-2 or LOXL2 was seen to lessen renal scarring and improve the workings of the kidney in a mouse model of Alport syndrome — raising the possibility it can slow disease progression. The study, “Lysyl oxidase like-2 contributes to renal…
