Development of kidney progenitor cells toward regenerative medicine

Kidney not only produce urine but also plays major role in blood pressure control, that’s why it’s an important organ for living , if it get damaged or lost functionality it no longer regenerated. The main functional unit of Kidney is glomeruli and tubules, which are generated from Kidney progenitor cell during fetal life. The major reason why kidney cannot be able to regenerate is because the progenitor cell are lost before or soon after kidney development completes

Researchers reported that with the help of human iPS cell nephrons can be prepared, although for regenerative medicine, precursor cells are required in large amount. Scientists tried for culturing kidney progenitor cells but the problem is that they are not preserved for more than three days.
Between 1 to 20 days of culturing the progenitor cells recollect their function and grow up to 1800 times. Generally In vivo this cells disappears within 10 days. Although scientists using there technique through which they can recollect in double amount within same time. Moreover, the upsurge in the total quantity of cells is somehow 100 times the quantity usually present within body.
For retaining the ability to form glomeruli and tubules advanced experiments where done through culture technique by the help of iPS cells to derive kidney progenitor cells which stemmed in four times the total quantity of cells over within 8th day. This discovery, a culture technique that upsurges kidney progenitor cells though upholding glomerulus-formation ability.
For constructing an organ a huge number of cells are essential in regenerative medicine. The achievement of this research in determining a culture way that artificially upturns both the amount of kidney progenitor cells and their capability time is a chief growth for the field. The finding is anticipated to help in the search for causes of kidney disease, new drug development, and other cellular research.
For omitting the 14 day duration it would be the best cryopreservation for kidney progenitor cells if conceivable.

Do Stem Cells act as Anti-Cancer Vaccines?

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells iPSC are originated from skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic like pluripotent cells that enables the increase of an unlimited source of any type of human cell needed for therapeutic purposes. iPS cells plays an important role in regenerative medicine. They can become many different types of cells and tissues that can help in damage repair due to trauma or disease. Recent study shows that the iPS cells training the immune system to attack or even prevent tumours.  Ten years ago, adult cells were genetically reprogrammed to behave like pluripotent stem cells. To produce the vaccine for cancer, the researchers turned to induced pluripotent stem cells.  The main aim of the study is to vaccinate a person with his or her own iPS cells to protect against the development of many types of cancer. The iPS cells mimic Anti-Cancer vaccine because, since the cancer cells resemble immature progenitor cells, which ar

Cancer stem cells

How Cancer Persists Stem cells are found in numerous tissues in the body, its life span is limited unlike with all other regular cells. They have the ability of dividing and renovate themselves for long time period. There unspecialized character justifies that ensuring cells convert into different cell type on time when one cell divides. Like, stem cells inside the bone marrow have ability of becoming bone. Fat and blood cells Likewise, there is believed that cancer stem cell is present in the main part of tumour, in the other hand there growth is also undefined and ability of self-renovate till they convert into new cancer cells. The major tumours treatment leaves cancer stem cell unmarked. Cancer stem cell can move undetectably even after treatment of major tumours effectively to the blood stream by the immune system to generate new tumours. This process is known as metastasis. These minor tumours become more aggressive year after and it’s really difficult to treat them.

RESEARCH AND TRANSPLANT OF STEM CELL

Regenerative Medicine is used to Replace tissues and Organs which are been damaged by disease. It also helpful for the permanent damaged organs. This can be done through the cell based therapy or by using cell products. Most of the regenerative medicine is depend upon the endogenous developmental or repair process and stem cell plays a main role in regenerative medicine. And they are integral part of the Regenerative Medicine. The ability of stem cell is currently being researched by the doctors and scientists it can cure untreatable diseases like diabetes, heart failure stem cell also important in drug testing .These are used in Joints, Muscle pain, Ligaments. Regenerative Injection Treatment are using autologous platelet or plasma or bone marrow Tissue engineer is the branch of regenerative medicine. Cells are building block of tissues and Tissues are the main function in the body .Tissue engineering and Regenerative Medicine is the regeneration of cells and tissues and b
