Interestingly, the uPEC+ group showed a trend of PECs proliferation persistence at 2 years as seen by Ki67 staining whereas, again, no activated PECs evaluated by CD44 expression are predominant, suggesting that these cells might be involved in a regenerative intention instead of a pro-sclerotic role, but fail in regenerate chronic podocyte loss as seen in aging models ( Berger and Moeller, 2014 ; Wanner et al., 2014 ) or increased body size ( Berger and Moeller, 2014 ).
