Activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway in monocytes derived from chronic kidney disease patients.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have significantly increased morbidity and mortality resulting from infections and cardiovascular diseases. Since monocytes play an essential role in host immunity, this study was directed to explore the gene expression profile in order to identify differen...
