In 2014, key articles in the field of acute kidney injury highlighted the importance of tubular homeostasis in renal regeneration. Cell cycle regulators, inflammatory signals and progenitors were identified as important factors that mediate the balance between inflammation and tubular regeneration necessary for renal repair.
