In human renal allografts, recipient-derived cells engrafted in various kidney substructures, have been detected in the long term after transplantation. Here we investigated tubular engraftment and myofibroblast differentiation of recipient-derived cells at short term after experimental kidney transplantation, during a previously described window of regeneration and possible onset of renal interstitial fibrosis.
