Osteogenic Differentiation of Renal Interstitial Fibroblasts Promoted by lncRNA MALAT1 May Partially Contribute to Randall’s Plaque Formation

BackgroundThe current belief is that Randall’s plaques (RP) constitute a nidus for the formation of idiopathic calcium oxalate stones, but the upstream events in RP formation remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate whether RP formation shares similarities with biomineralization and to...
