Circulating Fibrocytes, their role in renal fibrosis and molecular pathways involved. Possible biomarkers of fibrogenesis in chronic kidney disease
Circulating Fibrocytes (CFs) are bone marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells that express a similar pattern of surface markers related to leukocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and fibroblasts. CFs precursor display an ability to differentiate into fibroblasts and Myofibroblasts, as well...
