The immunoregulatory roles of non-haematopoietic cells in the kidney

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 20 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41581-023-00786-xEmerging evidence suggests that cells resident within organs — both immune and parenchymal — can facilitate the instigation and propagation of tissue injury. In this Review, the authors discuss findings that suggest that kidney parenchymal cells provide structural immunity to the kidney through the regulation of immune-relevant processes, with consequences for kidney inflammation and injury.
