Over the past two decades, the concept of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)
has been imported from embryology and oncology to fibrosis, particularly in the kidney. This …

Renal epithelial cells arise during embryogenesis by mesenchymal to epithelial transition
(MET). In the context of renal diseases, these cells can switch back to a mesenchymal …

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has become widely accepted as a mechanism by
which injured renal tubular cells transform into mesenchymal cells that contribute to the …

The hypothesis that epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) might be a contributor to the
accumulation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts (MFs) in the kidney during fibrogenesis was …

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is described as the process in which injured renal
tubular epithelial cells undergo a phenotype change, acquiring mesenchymal characteristics …

Tubulointerstitial injury is one of the hallmarks of renal disease. In particular, interstitial
fibrosis has a prominent role in the development and progression of kidney injury. Collagen …
