Metabolic insights from kidney 'immune hubs' point to new therapeutic concept

Researchers at Kyoto University have discovered that "immune hubs" in the kidney create a unique metabolic environment that could be targeted for new treatments. These clusters of immune cells, called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), show high levels of oxidative stress but counter this by accumulating glutathione, a key antioxidant, maintaining a delicate balance.
