Abstract excerpt
Recovery after acute kidney injury is impaired in the elderly, but mechanistic information regarding why this occurs is limited. In this study, aged mouse kidneys displayed a reduced epithelial proliferative reserve in vivo and in vitro. Microarray analysis identified increased expression of zinc-alpha (2)-glycoprotein (Zag) in aged proximal tubular cells. The addition of recombinant Zag to primary renal...
