Recent publications have questioned whether epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of
tubular epithelial cells is an important contributor to renal fibrosis. Two recent publications
describe an intratubular epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-like program of epithelial cell
dedifferentiation that may contribute to the recruitment or proliferation of interstitial
myofibroblasts after kidney injury.
