Abstract

Findings in mice and people suggest that glycosphingolipids have a role in the formation of large fluid-filled cysts in polycystic kidney disease. An inhibitor of glycosphingolipid synthesis may provide a potential therapy for this disorder, which often progresses to kidney failure (pages 788-792).
