Novel treatment strategies for chronic kidney disease: insights from the animal kingdomNovel treatment strategies for chronic kidney disease: insights from the animal kingdom, Published online: 15 January 2018; doi:10.1038/nrneph.2017.169Some animals have developed mechanisms to protect them from environmental stresses, whereas others remain susceptible. Here, Stenvinkel et al. discuss how a better understanding of susceptibility and protective mechanisms could provide insights to novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of several human diseases, such as chronic kidney disease and ageing-associated complications.
