Preferred Label : mesangial cells;
MeSH definition : Smooth muscle-like cells adhering to the wall of the small blood vessels of the KIDNEY
at the glomerulus and along the vascular pole of the glomerulus in the JUXTAGLOMERULAR
APPARATUS. They are myofibroblasts with contractile and phagocytic properties. These
cells and their MESANGIAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX constitute the GLOMERULAR MESANGIUM.;
