Endothelin (ET) is a vasoactive peptide produced by both endothelial and epithelial cells with documented mitogenic action on mesangial cells. The present studies were designed to test the hypothesis that ET is also produced by human mesangial cells (HMC)
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.
