Mechanisms of regeneration and maladaptive repair in acute kidney injury

Key takeaways

This is a review article about how kidneys heal after a sudden injury. It lays out why that repair sometimes goes wrong and leaves scarring that becomes long-term kidney disease. The authors focus on three cell types that signal to each other while the kidney heals: the filtering tube cells, immune cells, and the cells that lay down scar tissue. It gathers up past research rather than reporting a new study, so there are no results here.
