Antigen presentation by dendritic cells in renal lymph nodes is linked to systemic and local injury to the kidney.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Epithelial cells in the renal inner medulla accumulate osmolytes such as betaine to maintain normal cell volume during prolonged extracellular hypertonic stress. Betaine accumulation is the result of activation of transcription of the BGT1 transporter gene followed by increased betaine transport. METHODS:We...
