In experimental extracapillary glomerulonephritis (EG) podocytes migrate, proliferate and change phenotype, and play a pivotal role in crescent formation. Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is an injury-induced effector of tissue repair that causes cell migration, growth and transdifferentiation via its receptor Met.
