Stiffness sensing fuels matrix-driven metabolic reboot for kidney repair and regeneration

Yuan Gui, Yuanyuan Wang, Wenxue Li, Jia-Jun Liu, Kelly Zheng, Jianzhong Li, Henry Wells Shaffer, Cameron Jones, Samantha Mae Mallari, Yanbao Yu, Silvia Liu, Yansheng Liu, Dong Feng Zhou

This study identifies Mfap2 as a key ECM component that regulates kidney repair by linking mechanical cues to metabolic reprogramming through Esr2-mediated transcriptional control.
