Evidence of renal angiomyolipoma neoplastic stem cells arising from renal epithelial cells

Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) contain a mix of clonal tumour cells. Here, through reverse tumour engineering experiments, mouse genetics and analyses of human AML tumours, the authors provide evidence that these mesenchymal tumours originate from renal proximal tubule epithelial cells.
