Stem Cell Therapy for Glomerular Disease

[摘要] Stem cell therapy holds great promise for the repair of injured tissues and organs, including the kidney. Although still surrounded by uncertainties, such as the role of specific stem cell or progenitor populations, the relative contribution of local versus circulating cells or the modes of action, recent years have witnessed considerable progress in bringing stem cells closer to the bedside in nephrology. Concerning the kidney, most studies on repair have concentrated on the tubulointerstitial compartment, and less information is available for glomerular repair.
