Potential role of hepatocyte growth factor in the maintenance of renal structure : Anti-apoptotic action of HGF on epithelial cells

Mesangial cells (MC) are known to secrete various vasoactive substances that may control endothelial and epithelial cell growth. Therefore, the cell-cell interactions among these cells may be important in the control of renal function. However, the exact mechanisms of maintaining the cell-cell inter...
