Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor-1β Induces Redifferentiation of Dedifferentiated Tubular Epithelial Cells.
Tubular epithelial cells (TECs) can be dedifferentiated by repetitive insults, which activate scar-producing cells generated from interstitial cells such as fibroblasts, leading to the accumulation and deposition of extracellular matrix molecules. The dedifferentiated TECs play a crucial role in the...
