Concise Review: Stem/Progenitor Cells for Renal Tissue Repair: Current Knowledge and Perspectives
28 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
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 their preferred niche(s) are largely unknown and debated. Most of the therapeutic approaches to kidney regeneration are based on administration of cells proven to enhance intrinsic reparative capabilities of the kidney. Endogenous...
