Generation of special autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease iPSCs with the capability of functional kidney-like cell differentiation
19 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been verified as a powerful cell model for the study of pathogenesis in hereditary disease. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations of PKD or non-PKD genes. The pathogenesis of ADPKD remains unexplored because of the lack of a true human cell model. METHODS: Six ADPKD patients and four healthy individuals were...
