Filling in the matrix of kidney disease

Nature Medicine volume 1, pages 305–306 (1995)Cite this article

The discovery of a gene associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) was only the first step toward understanding the disease. Now researchers are determining what the gene' product normally does (pages 359–364).
