The multiplication or reproduction of glomerular mesangial cells in the metanephros, resulting in the expansion of the population. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of glomerular mesangial cell proliferation. The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of the population in the kidney. Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of glomerular mesangial cell proliferation. The multiplication or reproduction of intraglomerular glomerular mesangium cells by cell division, resulting in the expansion of their population. Intraglomerular mesangial cells are specialized pericytes located among the glomerular capillaries within a renal corpuscle of a kidney. They are required for filtration, structural support and phagocytosis. The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the kidney over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The kidney is an organ that filters the blood and/or excretes the end products of body metabolism in the form of urine. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a glomerulus vasculature from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the glomerulus vasculature and ends with the mature structure. The glomerulus vasculature is composed of the tubule structures that carry blood or lymph in the glomerulus. The multiplication or reproduction of glomerular mesangial cells, resulting in the expansion of the population. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of glomerular mesangial cell proliferation. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the glomerular mesangium over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The glomerular mesangium is the thin membrane connective tissue composed of mesangial cells, which helps to support the capillary loops in a renal glomerulus.
