title: Pathology of progressive nephropathies.
abstract: The role of cell cycle regulatory proteins in progression is elucidated. Human renal biopsy data show amelioration and even regression of structural injury with interventions. Data implicate new mechanisms of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system in progressive injuries, including immune modulation and a direct effect of aldosterone on progression. New approaches and interventions that target these fibrotic responses show promising results.
