Endocycle-related tubular cell hypertrophy and progenitor proliferation recover renal function after acute kidney injury

The recovery of function upon acute kidney injury is thought to involve tubular cell dedifferentiation and proliferation. Here the authors show that Pax2+ progenitors regenerate tubules via cell division while other tubular cells support function recovery by undergoing hypertrophy through endoreplic...
