Unique regulatory properties of mesangial cells are genetically determined in the rat.

Unique regulatory properties of mesangial cells are genetically determined in the rat.

Mesangial cells are glomerular cells of stromal origin. During immune complex mediated crescentic glomerulonephritis (Crgn), infiltrating and proliferating pro-inflammatory macrophages lead to crescent formation.
