Regeneration Of Kidney Tissue. With further understanding of these environmental stresses and related cell senescence it could be possible to regenerate kidney tissue more efficiently from a small biopsy of kidney tissue. Kidney disease is a devastating condition that affects millions of people worldwide and its prevalence is predicted to significantly increase.
Recent findings recent progress in regenerative nephrology includes the directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells to kidney fates understanding the proliferative capacity of tubules after injury the use of mesenchymal stem cells for kidney disease and tissue engineering approaches to renal replacement. The research which was done in mice also shows how the kidney regenerates itself. Acute kidney injury in human beings is a protean syndrome of varying severity mainly due to ischaemic or chemical injury occurring in up to 5 of patients in hospital 79 and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality.
Special coverage is given to kidney stem cells and possible steps towards kidney repair and regeneration.
80 the capacity of the kidney to regenerate functional tissue after an episode of acute injury is a major determinant of. Acute kidney injury in human beings is a protean syndrome of varying severity mainly due to ischaemic or chemical injury occurring in up to 5 of patients in hospital 79 and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Regeneration of damaged kidney tissue is essential to retard the progression of chronic kidney disease to end stage kidney disease. However macrophages are highly heterogeneous cells and.
