  • Title: Plasticity of Renin Cells in the Kidney Vasculature.
    Author: Gomez RA, Lopez ML.
    Journal: Curr Hypertens Rep; 2017 Feb; 19(2):14. PubMed ID: 28233238.
    Abstract:
    During development, renin cells are precursors for arteriolar smooth muscle, mesangial cells, and interstitial pericytes. Those seemingly differentiated descendants retain the memory to re-express renin when there is a threat to homeostasis. Understanding how such molecular memory is constructed and regulated would be crucial to comprehend cell identity which is, in turn, intimately linked to homeostasis.
