Susceptibility to kidney fibrosis in mice is associated with early growth response-2 protein and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 expression

Patients with chronic kidney disease and experimental animal models of kidney fibrosis manifest diverse progression rates. Genetic susceptibility may contribute to this diversity, but the causes remain largely unknown. We have previously described kidney fibrosis with a mild or severe phenotype in m...
