Atlas of Cellular Dynamics during Zebrafish Adult Kidney Regeneration

Figure 9

Summary of major cellular events in zebrafish kidney regeneration. After injury to proximal tubules of nephrons within the adult zebrafish kidney, successive and overlapping waves of cell death and cell proliferation occur. Cell proliferation is accompanied by Pax2 expression. Neonephrogenesis entails abundant Pax2 expression and cell proliferation in neonephron structures during the regeneration process.
