Renal fibroblasts are involved in fibrogenic changes in kidney fibrosis associated with dysfunctional telomeres
1 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Tubulointerstitial fibrosis associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a global health care problem. We previously reported that short and dysfunctional telomeres lead to interstitial renal fibrosis; however, the cell-of-origin of kidney fibrosis associated with telomere dysfunction is currently unknown. We induced telomere dysfunction by deleting the Trf1 gene encoding a telomere-binding factor...
