Acute kidney injury is followed by regeneration of damaged renal tubular epithelial cells.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that renal stem cells exist in the adult …

Acute tubular necrosis is followed by regeneration of damaged renal tubular epithelial cells,
and renal stem cells are supposed to contribute to this process. The purpose of our study is …

Adult stem cells have been characterized in several tissues as a subpopulation of cells able
to maintain, generate, and replace terminally differentiated cells in response to physiological …

We describe here isolation and characterization of CD133+ cells derived from normal adult
human kidney. These cells lacked the expression of hematopoietic markers and expressed …

The kidney is widely regarded as an organ without regenerative abilities. However, in recent
years this dogma has been challenged on the basis of observations of kidney recovery …

Regenerative medicine represents a critical clinical goal for patients with ESRD, but the
identification of renal adult multipotent progenitor cells has remained elusive. It is …

Recent studies implicated the existence in adult human kidney of a population of renal
progenitors with the potential to regenerate glomerular as well as tubular epithelial cells and …

A role for extrarenal cells in the regeneration following acute renal failure. Background
Recovery of renal function following acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is dependent on the …

The ability of the human kidney to repair itself is limited. Consequently, repeated injury can
trigger a maladaptive response that is characterized by fibrosis and loss of renal function …

The present study was conducted to explore renal progenitor-like cells that are actively
engaged in tubular regeneration after injury. For addressing this issue, the existence of label …
