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.
