Two papers, one in Nature (Jones et al., 2006) and the other in the Journal of Clinical
Investigation (Verma et al., 2006) show that Nck adaptor proteins connect phosphorylated
nephrin with actin polymerization in podocyte foot processes, structures important for slit-
diaphragm formation in the kidney. Their results further our understanding of podocyte
development and repair in glomerular disease.
