Abstract
ATPase expression, lower vimentin expression, and lower transepithelial electrical resistance, indicating that HRPTCs cultivated on chitosan presented better differentiation status and would be more functional with better active transportation. Thus, the current study indicates greater scope for the use of chitosan as a biomaterial for preparing a HRPTC-coated chitosan conduit, which might be useful for the scaffold design of tissue-engineered proximal tubules. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
