Human iPSC-derived nephron progenitor cells treat acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease in mouse models
The number of patients requiring dialysis therapy continues to increase worldwide because of the lack of effective treatments for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, no curative treatments for acute kidney injury (AKI) have been established. The therapeutic effects of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived nephron progenitor cells (hiPSC-NPCs) on AKI have been reported in mice but not clinically confirmed. There are also no reports examining the therapeutic potential of hiPSC-NPCs on...
