Stem cells and renal regeneration.

چکیده
The role of embryonal or adult stem cells, in particular bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells, in regenerating the kidney after injury has been the subject of intensive investigation. BM-derived stem cells have been shown to give rise to small numbers of most renal cell types, including tubular cells, mesangial cells, podocytes, vascular cells and interstitial cells. However, the role this infrequent display of BM cell plasticity plays in organ regeneration is less certain. Injections of BM-derived cells do improve renal function in many animal models of renal disease. Current opinion attributes this renoprotective effect mainly to paracrine factors supporting regeneration by local renal cells and to immunomodulatory effects, rather than to transdifferentiation of BM cells into renal cells. Several groups have identified native renal stem cell populations, although their role in renal regeneration has not yet been well defined.

Background Currently, clinical endodontics includes procedures that are based on the ability of stem cells to accomplish repair (eg, direct pulp capping, apexogenesis, apexification, and even pulpal regeneration). An attempt is made to critically assess the current status in pulp regeneration therapy. Methods: Systematically, 2 distinctly different strategies exist involving stem cells for t...
متن کاملTooth Regeneration with Stem Cell Sources
Introduction: During the last decade, advances in tissue engineering and stem cell-based tooth regeneration have provided realistic and attractive means of replacing lost or damaged teeth. The first adult stem cells isolated from dental tissues were dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). When transplanted with hydroxyl apatite/tri calcium phosphate (HA/TCP) powder, they formed a dentin-like structure...

Objective(s):Recently cell therapy is a promising therapeutic modality for many types of disease including acute kidney injury (AKI). Due to the unique biological properties, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are attractive cells in this regard. This study aims to transplant MSCs equipped with nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in rat experimental models of acute kidney and evaluate regenera...

Stem cell therapies against renal injury have been advancing. The many trials for renal regeneration are reported to be effective in many kinds of renal injury models. Regarding the therapeutic mechanism, it is believed that stem cells contribute to make regeneration via not only direct stem cell differentiation in the injured space but also indirect effect via secreted factors from stem cells....
