Transforming growth factor-β1 in the microenvironment of ischemia reperfusion-injured kidney enhances the chemotaxis of mesenchymal stem cells to stromal cell-derived factor-1 through upregulation of surface chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4.

Abstract excerpt

Acute renal failure is one of the most common complications observed in hospitals. Although extensive studies have been carried out to search for therapeutic treatments, no effective cure has been established. In recent years, stem cell therapy for tissue engineering and repair has become a key area of study. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to exhibit a reparative role in ischemia...
