A current explanation for development of chronic renal injury is the imbalance between
injurious mechanism and regenerative repair. The possibility that stem cells contribute to the …

The potential role of stem cells in the repair of glomerular and tubular injury is under
intensive investigation. Several studies have addressed the role of endogenous bone …

PURPOSE: The potential use of stem cells for acute and chronic renal injury is under
intensive investigation. We summarized the current literature on the potential therapeutic …

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 …

In the past few years, a number of studies have shown that stem cells can be found in
virtually every organ of the adult organism. The kidney is not an exception, and resident …

There has been considerable focus on the ability of bone marrow‐derived cells to
differentiate into non‐haematopoietic cells of various tissue lineages, including cells of the …

The susceptibility of developing acute renal failure depends on the ability of the kidney to
recover from acute injury and regain normal function. Recently, the possible contribution of …

Acute kidney injury carries severe consequences and has limited treatment options. Bone
marrow stem cells may offer the potential for treatment of acute kidney injury. The purpose of …

The kidney has a dramatic capacity to regenerate after injury. Whether stem cells are the
source of the epithelial progenitors replacing injured and dying tubular epithelium is …

Renal stem cells are still a hot topic, but their location and mechanism of action continue to
elude. The therapeutic potential of intrinsic stem cells to the recovery of damaged kidney has …
