Cellular players in kidney fibrosis Fibrosis progression is driven by the interplay and transformation of several key cell types: Tubular epithelial cells (TECs) TECs are deeply involved in chronic kidney damage by activating a variety of pro-fibrotic pathways [e.g., Wnt/-catenin, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling, and TGF-] [6,7,8] and undergoing a partial Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (pEMT)
There are two types of CysLT receptors, namely, CysLTR1 and CysLTR2, which belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor family
