Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) stands as a pressing health challenge, with mesangial cell fibrosis identified as a pivotal hallmark leading to glomerular sclerosis. Gaining a deeper grasp on the molecular dynamics behind this can potentially introduce groundbreaking therapeutic avenues. Recent revelations from studies on ROCK1-deficient mice, which displayed resilience against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced glomerulosclerosis and mitochondrial fragmentation, spurred our hypothesis regarding ROCK1's potential role in mesangial cell fibrosis...
