The kidney has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury, as it is not a terminally
differentiated organ. This regenerative potential is somehow incomplete, however, and as …

Significant attention is currently directed to the biological and therapeutic capabilities of stem
cells for developing novel treatments for acute and chronic kidney diseases. To date, viable …

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 …

The role of embryonal or adult stem cells, in particular bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells,
in regenerating the kidney after injury has been the subject of intensive investigation. BM …

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 …

Stem cell therapy opens the door to regenerative nephrology. Embryonic stem cells are a
useful tool to determine the pathways to convert a pluripotent stem cell into renal …

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 …

The inadequacy of current treatment modalities and insufficiency of donor organs for
cadaveric transplantation have driven a search for improved methods of dealing with renal …
