Kidney Regeneration And Tissue Engineering. Key features focuses on the synergy between renal organ transplantation and regenerative medicine highlighting the advances within transplantation. 4 implant the bioengineered kidney in a host to regenerate kidney tissue.
Experimenting on rat pig and human kidney cells niddk supported researchers broke new ground on this front by first stripping cells from a donor organ and using the remaining collagen scaffold to help guide the growth of new tissue. While development of renal tissue engineering is in a steady state due to the complex composition and highly regulated functionality of the kidney cell therapy using stem cells and primary kidney cells has demonstrated promising therapeutic outcomes in terms of restoration of renal functions in aki and ckd. Engineering autologous kidney grafts on demand would potentially alleviate this shortage thereby reducing healthcare costs improving quality of life and increasing longevity for patients suffering from renal failure.

New strategies in kidney regeneration and tissue engineering.

This study demonstrates the reconstitution of kidney tissues in vivo by transplanting fkcs and suggests that fkcs are a possible new cell source for kidney tissue engineering.
