Kidney pathology in a mouse model of the syndrome of apparent aldosterone excess revealed plasticity of the CCD, with altered PC:intermediate cell:IC ratio. The self-immortalized mouse CCD cell line, mCCD<sub>cl1</sub>, shows functional characteristics of PCs, but displays a range of cell types, including intermediate cells, making it ideal to st ...[more]
