Preferred Name	Mesangial Cells
Definitions	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.
Synonyms	Glomerular Mesangial Cells Renal Mesangial Cell Mesangial Cell, Extraglomerular Lacis Cell Cell, Glomerular Mesangial Cells, Extraglomerular Mesangial Glomerular Mesangial Cell Cells, Kidney Mesangial Mesangial Cell, Renal Extraglomerular Mesangial Cells Cell, Lacis Mesangial Cells, Kidney Mesangial Cell, Glomerular Kidney Mesangial Cell Mesangial Cell Cells, Mesangial Extraglomerular Mesangial Cell Lacis Cells Mesangial Cell, Kidney Cell, Kidney Mesangial Renal Mesangial Cells Cells, Renal Mesangial Mesangial Cells, Renal Mesangial Cells, Glomerular Mesangial Cells, Extraglomerular Cell, Mesangial Cell, Extraglomerular Mesangial Renal Glomerulus Mesangial Cells Cells, Glomerular Mesangial Cell, Renal Mesangial Cells, Lacis Kidney Mesangial Cells See more See less
