Description

Lingfei Zhang and colleagues review in 2026 how cell power plants reshape their fuel use in diabetic kidney disease. That disease is the top cause of long-term kidney failure worldwide. The review covers kidney and immune cell types one by one, since each handles fuel in its own way. A key thread is metabolic memory, where past high sugar keeps harming cells after sugar falls.

Chemical marks on genes and proteins help store that memory, and power plants sit at the center of the marks. Care ideas range from lab-stage compounds to drugs already in clinic use. Each is judged on how it resets fuel handling. Joining fuel science with gene-mark science opens fresh routes past current care limits.
