Although SN may start as glomerulopathy associated with increased mesangial cellularity, the interstitial rather than the glomerular markers of myofibroblastic differentiation and those of cell turnover are playing a crucial role in late stages of schistosomal, but not in non-schistosomal nephropathies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
