Isolation and Characterization of Multipotent Progenitor Cells from the Bowman’s Capsule of Adult Human Kidneys

TL;DR: This study demonstrates the existence and provides the characterization of a population of resident multipotent progenitor cells in adult human glomeruli, potentially opening new avenues for the development of regenerative medicine in patients who have renal diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

An alternatively spliced variant of CXCR3 mediates the inhibition of endothelial cell growth induced by IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC, and acts as functional receptor for platelet factor 4.

TL;DR: A distinct, previously unrecognized receptor named CXCR3-B is described, derived from an alternative splicing of the CX CR3 gene that mediates the angiostatic activity of CxCR3 ligands and also acts as functional receptor for CXCL4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regeneration of Glomerular Podocytes by Human Renal Progenitors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in the adult human kidney, CD133+CD24+ cells consist of a hierarchical population of progenitors that are arranged in a precise sequence within Bowman's capsule and exhibit heterogeneous potential for differentiation and regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential but differential role for CXCR4 and CXCR7 in the therapeutic homing of human renal progenitor cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that among all known chemokine receptors, human renal progenitor cells exhibit high expression of both stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) receptors, CXCR4 and CX CR7, which suggest that CXcr4 andCXCR7 play an essential, but differential, role in the therapeutic homing of human kidneys showing regenerative potential for injured renal tissue of SCID mice.
