Proposed mechanisms of tubular regeneration. CD133+CD24+ renal progenitors (red) are localized at the urinary pole and are in close contiguity with tubular renal cells (yellow) at the tubuloglomerular junction and with podocytes (green) at the vascular stalk. CD133+CD24+ tubular progenitors (orange) displaying mixed features of renal progenitors (red) and proximal tubular cells (yellow) localize at the tubuloglomerular junction and are scattered among more differentiated tubular cells. These tubular progenitors may proliferate and differentiate after tubular injury to replace dead cells. In contrast, CD133+CD24+ podocyte progenitors (red/green) display features of either renal progenitors (red) or podocytes (green) and localize between the urinary pole and the vascular stalk.
