The role of the renin-angiotensin system in chronic kidney disease involves multiple peptides and receptors. Exerting antipodal pathophysiological mechanisms, renin inhibition and AT1 antagonism ameliorate renal damage.

View SamplesThe satellite cell of skeletal muscle provides a paradigm for quiescent and activated tissue stem cell states. We have carried out transcriptome analyses by comparing satellite cells from adult skeletal muscles, where they are mainly quiescent, with cells from growing muscles, regenerating (mdx) muscles, or with cells in culture, where they are activated. Our study gives new insights into the satellite cell biology during activation and in respect with its niche.
