We recently found that human glomeruli deprived of the Bowman's capsule contain a
population of CD133− CD146+ cells that coexpress the typical mesenchymal stem cells …

In humans, renal resident stem cells were identified within the interstitium, the tubular cells,
and the Bowman's capsule. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether …

We previously described a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-like population within the adult
mouse kidney that displays long-term colony-forming efficiency, clonogenicity …

Regenerative medicine represents a critical clinical goal for patients with ESRD, but the
identification of renal adult multipotent progenitor cells has remained elusive. It is …

Renal resident stem cells were previously reported within the renal tubules and papillary
area. The aim of the present study was to determine whether renal capsules harbor stem …

Increasing interest in the potential of adult stem cells in regenerative medicine has led to
numerous studies focused on the identification of endogenous renal stem cells within the …

In most adult epithelia the process of replacing damaged or dead cells is maintained
through the presence of stem/progenitor cells, which allow epithelial tissues to be repaired …

Recent studies implicated the existence in adult human kidney of a population of renal
progenitors with the potential to regenerate glomerular as well as tubular epithelial cells and …

Mesangial cells are one of the three major cell types of the kidney glomerulus that provide
physical support for the glomerular capillary lumen of the kidney. Loss of mesangial cells …

Zonal identification of stem cell‐associated marker distribution within adult kidneys may
facilitate development of assays to monitor efficacy of regenerative medicine approaches to …
