Selective depletion of macrophages reveals distinct, opposing roles during liver injury and repair

TL;DR: These data provide the first clear evidence that functionally distinct subpopulations of macrophages exist in the same tissue and that these macrophage play critical roles in both the injury and recovery phases of inflammatory scarring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage-derived Wnt opposes Notch signaling to specify hepatic progenitor cell fate in chronic liver disease.

TL;DR: It is found that during biliary regeneration, expression of Jagged 1 by myofibroblasts promoted Notch signaling in HPCs and thus their biliary specification to cholangiocytes and thus the promotion of their specification to hepatocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone marrow contributes to renal parenchymal turnover and regeneration

TL;DR: The presence of bone marrow‐derived cells was noted in both histologically normal mouse kidneys and in human transplanted kidneys suffering damage from a variety of causes, indicating that bone marrow cells contribute to both normal turnover of renal epithelia and regeneration after damage, and is suggested that this could be exploited therapeutically.
