Abstract:BackgroundRenal allograft interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA) constitutes the principal histopathological characteristic of chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) in kidney‐transplanted patients. While renal vascular endothelial‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) has been verified as an important contributing factor to IF/TA in CAD patients, its underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Through single‐cell transcriptomic analysis, we identified Rictor as a potential pivotal mediator for EndMT. This investigatio… Show more
