Many studies have shown that kidney-derived progenitor cells are very effective at
ameliorating injury in rodent models of acute and chronic kidney disease, but difficulties in …

Background: Since no specific or radical treatments have yet been established for acute
kidney injury (AKI), the development of cell transplantation therapy using renal progenitors is …

Strategies to facilitate repair or generate new nephrons are exciting prospects for acute and
chronic human renal disease. Repair of kidney injury involves not just local mechanisms but …

The kidney has the capacity for regeneration and repair after a variety of insults. Over the
past few decades, factors that promote repair of the injured kidney have been extensively …

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 mammalian kidney is a highly complex organ, composed of various cell types within a
unique structural framework. Nonetheless, in recent years, giant leaps in our understanding …

In this chapter we will focus on the role of resident renal progenitor cells and non-renal
derived stem/progenitor cells in renal regeneration as a platform for cell-based therapy. We …

The kidney is a highly complex organ, and acute or chronic renal diseases can occur with
various complications such as diabetes and hypertension. So far, no target specific …

The number of human kidney transplants has increased rapidly in recent years, but the need
greatly exceeds organ availability. Induction of appropriate kidney differentiation and growth …
