Profibrotic proximal tubular (PT) were identified as a unique phenotype of PTCs in renal fibrosis by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Controlling the process of renal fibrosis requires understanding how to manage the S1 subset's branch to the S3 subset rather than to the profibrotic PT sub...
Kidney injury initiates epithelial dedifferentiation and myofibroblast activation during the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, we found that the expression of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) was significantly increased in the kidney tissues of both CKD...
