Renal Organogenesis from Transplanted Metanephric Primordia
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
One novel solution to the shortage of human organs available for transplantation envisions growing new organs in situ via xenotransplantation of developing primordia from animal embryos. It has been shown that renal primordia (metanephroi) transplanted into animal hosts undergo organogenesis in situ, become vascularized by blood vessels of host origin, and exhibit excretory function. Metanephroi can be stored for...
