TLDR
To regenerate functional tissue, rat kidney scaffolds are seeded with epithelial and endothelial cells and perfused these cell-seeded constructs in a whole-organ bioreactor, resulting in grafts that produced rudimentary urine in vitro when perfused through their intrinsic vascular bed.Abstract:
Approximately 100,000 individuals in the United States currently await kidney transplantation, and 400,000 individuals live with end-stage kidney disease requiring hemodialysis. The creation of a transplantable graft to permanently replace kidney function would address donor organ shortage and the morbidity associated with immunosuppression. Such a bioengineered graft must have the kidney's architecture and function and permit perfusion, filtration, secretion, absorption and drainage of urine. We decellularized rat, porcine and human kidneys by detergent perfusion, yielding acellular scaffolds with vascular, cortical and medullary architecture, a collecting system and ureters. To regenerate functional tissue, we seeded rat kidney scaffolds with epithelial and endothelial cells and perfused these cell-seeded constructs in a whole-organ bioreactor. The resulting grafts produced rudimentary urine in vitro when perfused through their intrinsic vascular bed. When transplanted in an orthotopic position in rat, the grafts were perfused by the recipient's circulation and produced urine through the ureteral conduit in vivo.read more

Morphometry of the renal corpuscle during normal postnatal growth and compensatory hypertrophy. A light microscope study.
TL;DR: Renal corpuscles from the juxtamedullary and subcapsular regions of the renal cortex were morphometrically analyzed in young rats and in adult rats that had been unilaterally nephrectomized or sham-operated at an early age, indicating hyperplasia among all populations of glomerular cells is indicated in normal growth, and to a greater extent in compensatory renal hypertrophy.

Tubulogenesis from isolated single cells of adult mammalian kidney: clonal analysis with a recombinant retrovirus
TL;DR: Individual cells in the adult kidney have retained the ability for kidney tubuleogenesis in vitro, since cell lineage analysis with a recombinant retrovirus demonstrated that in vitro tubulogenesis arose from clonal expansion of a single cell.

Adhesion of rat glomerular epithelial cells to extracellular matrices: Role of β1 integrins
TL;DR: In rat GEC, alpha 2 beta 1 and/or alpha 3 beta 1 integrins appear to mediate adhesion to collagen I, collagen IV, and laminin, and the alpha 3beta 1 integrin is also the likely receptor for fibronectin, interacting through an RGD binding site.
