Shear stress turns on the primary cilium and lipophagy.
2020
While the formation and concentration of urine are better understood, how kidney epithelial cells generate the energy to drive these functions has remained unclear. A study now reveals that shear stress originating from urinary flow is sensed by the primary cilia of cortical epithelial cells and stimulates lipolysis and oxidative metabolism.
