BMP-7 counteracts TGF-β1–induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and reverses chronic renal injury

TL;DR: It is reported that BMP-7 reverses TGF-β1–induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by reinduction of E-cadherin, a key epithelial cell adhesion molecule, which provides evidence of cross talk between B MP-7 and TGF -β1 in the regulation of EMT in health and disease.

Fibroblasts in Kidney Fibrosis Emerge via Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endothelial cells also contribute to the emergence of fibroblasts during kidney fibrosis via the process of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), and it is suggested that targeting EndMT might have therapeutic potential.
