Human Fibroblasts derived from Kidney (Renal) within the Urinary system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFibroblasts and myofibroblasts are believed to be the key effector cells in renal fibrogenesis responsible for the synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix components [1] . Although fibroblasts are histologically visible in normal kidneys, there are relatively few of them and proximal tubular epithelial cells predominate. In progressive disease, however, the interstitium becomes filled with myofibroblasts [2] . Fibroblasts are considered the primary matrix-producing cells in the kidney and hence they are clinically relevant as principal mediators of renal fibrosis associated with progressive renal failure [3] . iXCells Biotechnologies provides high quality Human Renal Fibroblasts, which are isolated from adult human kidney tissue and cryopreserved at P1, with \u0026gt;0.5 million cells in each vial. Human Renal Fibroblasts express fibronectin and are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. They can further expand no more than 3 passages in Fibroblast Growth Medium ( Cat# MD-0011 ) under the condition suggested by iXCells Biotechnologies. Figure 1. Human Renal Fibroblasts .
