  "summary": "Genetic kidney diseases are promising targets for gene therapy. Emerging AAV capsids that reportedly enable effective gene delivery to proximal tubules (PTs) following intravenous injection have raised hopes for treating diseases affecting renal tubules. Despite these promising developments, the scientific literature contains contradictory and non-reproducible findings, which prompted us to…",
