Abstract
During development, renin cells are precursors for arteriolar smooth muscle, mesangial cells, and interstitial pericytes. Those seemingly differentiated descendants retain the memory to re-express renin when there is a threat to homeostasis. Understanding how such molecular memory is constructed and regulated would be crucial to comprehend cell identity which is, in turn, intimately linked to homeostasis.Entities:
