N2 - Recent insights have defined the central role of podocytes both in rare genetic diseases and as a general determinant of the progression of human glomerular diseases. In a recent issue of Nature, Weavers et al. described a podocyte-like cell type in Drosophila, the nephrocyte, that closely resembles mammalian podocytes, including the nephrin-based slit diaphragm. This novel podocyte system might open new avenues toward the understanding of podocyte biology and pathophysiology.
