Abstract

Acute kidney injury is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Reichardt et al. investigated DNA-binding protein-A (Ybx3) in acute kidney injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury and found that mice lacking Ybx3 have altered mitochondrial function and increased antioxidant activity, making them more resistant to ischemia-reperfusion injury-acute kidney injury. The study highlights a new role of the multifaceted protein DNA-binding protein-A, which could be potentially therapeutically exploited.
