Figure 11. Repair and regeneration of renal proximal tubule cells following acute sublethal injury.

Figure 11

Sublethally injured RPTC either repair physiological functions and restore normal tubular function or dedifferentiate, migrate, and/or proliferate to replace lost cells, then differentiate and resume normal function. The processes of repair and regeneration work in concert to ensure relining of the damaged nephron and restoration of renal function. From citation (402).
