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 …

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 …

Introduction Pathophysiological changes associated with chronic kidney disease impair
angiogenic processes and increase renal fibrosis. Progenitor-like cells derived from adult …

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 …

Given its complexity, high metabolic activity and excretory functions, the kidney is particularly
susceptible to acute ischemic and toxin-mediated injury. Current therapies do not facilitate …

Background aims The engraftment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is reported to
promote recovery of renal function in animal models of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, it …

Renal damage resulting from acute and chronic kidney injury poses an important problem to
public health. Currently, patients with end-stage renal disease rely solely on kidney …

The kidney is a specialized low-regenerative organ with several different types of cellular
lineages; however, the identity of renal stem/progenitor cells with nephrogenic potential and …

Previous studies have suggested that CD133+ cells isolated from human kidney biopsies
have the potential to ameliorate injury following intravenous (IV) administration in rodent …

The kidney is capable of regeneration. In response to a variety of insults, renal epithelial
tubular cells dedifferentiate into an immature phenotype, proliferate, migrate to the injured …
