Abstract The podocyte plays a key role both in maintenance of the glomerular filtration
barrier and in glomerular structural integrity. Podocyte injury and loss
contribute to proteinuria and progressive sclerosis. Inhibitors of mammalian
target of rapamycin (mTOR) have variably decreased or caused proteinuria and
sclerosis in human disease and experimental settings. In this issue of the JCI,
two interesting studies of podocyte-specific manipulation of the mTOR system
shed light on the complexity of this pathway in the podocyte.
