Norcantharidin inhibits renal interstitial fibrosis by blocking the tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Norcantharidin inhibits renal interstitial fibrosis by blocking the tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is thought to contribute to the progression of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Norcantharidin (NCTD) is a promising agent for inhibiting renal interstitial fibrosis. However, the molecular mechanisms of NCTD are unclear. In this study, a unilateral ureteral...
