Abstract

Introduction and Objectives: End stage renal disease is currently being treated effectively by transplantation. Recent advances in cell-based therapies have provided potential opportunities to alleviate the current challenges of donor shortage. We previously have demonstrated that single renal cells expanded in culture are able to form renal structures when implanted in vivo. In this study, we investigated whether human kidney structures could be pre-formed in vitro for subsequent implantation in vivo to maximize tissue forming efficiency.
