Smad4 controls proliferation of interstitial cells in the neonatal kidney

Sarah S. McCarthy et al.

Summary: Expansion of interstitial cells in adult kidney is a hallmark of chronic disease, while their proliferation during fetal development is necessary for organ formation. Inactivation of TGF beta/Smad response in mouse interstitial cell lineage leads to overproliferation of interstitial cells regionally in the kidney medulla. Smad4 loss primarily reduces TGF beta signaling in the interstitium, while increasing Wnt/beta-catenin signaling.

ZEB2, the Mowat-Wilson Syndrome Transcription Factor: Confirmations, Novel Functions, and Continuing Surprises

Judith C. Birkhoff et al.

Summary: ZEB2, identified in amphibian embryos as a transcription factor determining cell fate, has been extensively studied in mice, leading to discoveries of its role in causing MOWS and regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Research on ZEB2 in mouse embryos has shed light on its importance in neurodevelopment and neural crest defects, and its potential roles in cell-cell communication in adult organisms.

Decoding myofibroblast origins in human kidney fibrosis

Christoph Kuppe et al.

Summary: Using single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers profiled the transcriptomes of healthy and fibrotic human kidneys, identifying distinct subpopulations of pericytes and fibroblasts as the main sources of scar-forming myofibroblasts during kidney fibrosis. This study shed light on the cellular origins and differentiation of myofibroblasts in human kidney fibrosis, identifying potential therapeutic targets such as NKD2.
