Abstract excerpt
Injury to glomerular visceral epithelial cells has been proposed as the initial step in glomerular scar formation in primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS); however, the subsequent process that ultimately results in glomerular scar formation remains uncertain. This study examined whether phenotypically altered mesangial cells determine the early progression of primary FSGS. Cellular lesion...
