Abstract excerpt
The present study was conducted to explore renal progenitor-like cells that are actively engaged in tubular regeneration after injury. For addressing this issue, the existence of label-retaining cells (LRC; slow-cycling cells) in normal rat kidneys by in vivo bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling was examined. LRC were scattering among renal epithelial tubular cells of normal rat kidneys. During the recovery after...
