We previously demonstrated that endothelial cells are severely damaged during renal
ischemia-reperfusion and that transplantation of adult human endothelial cells into athymic …

We isolated a clonal cell line (4E) from kidneys of mice expressing green fluorescent protein
controlled by the endothelial-specific Tie2 promoter. When grown in a three-dimensional …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major clinical problem in which a critical vascular,
pathophysiological component is recognized. We demonstrated previously that …

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 …

Although the kidney has been suspected, though not definitively proven, to contain organ-
specific pluripotent stem cells, their role in regeneration after renal injury is uncertain (1–3) …

Several cell types isolated from adult tissues have been reported to differentiate into mature
kidney cells that may participate in renal repair after systemic administration. Chen et al …

In ischemic acute kidney injury, renal blood flow is decreased. We have previously shown
that reperfused, transplanted kidneys exhibited ischemic injury to vascular endothelium and …

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common disease with high morbidity and mortality. Recovery
from ARF is dependent on the replacement of necrotic tubular cells with functional tubular …

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a syndrome of abrupt decline in renal function induced by a
number of different insults. In clinic, the common etiology for ARF is ischemia-reperfusion …

Skeletal muscle‐derived stem/progenitor cells (MDSPCs) have been thoroughly
investigated and already used in preclinical studies. However, therapeutic potential of …
