Renal differentiation of amniotic fluid stem cells
15 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The role of stem cells in regenerative medicine is evolving rapidly. Here, we describe the application, for kidney regeneration, of a novel non-genetically modified stem cell, derived from human amniotic fluid. We show that these pluripotent cells can develop and differentiate into de novo kidney structures during organogenesis in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells...
