Abstract excerpt
Glioma-associated oncogene homolog-1 (Gli1)-positive resident mesenchymal stem cell-like cells are the predominant source of kidney myofibroblasts in fibrosis, but investigating Gli1-positive myofibroblast progenitor activation is hampered by the difficulty of isolating and propagating primary cultures of these cells. Using a genetic strategy with positive and negative selection, we isolated Kidney-Gli1 (KGli1)...
