Stem Cell Therapy for Kidney Failure: The Promise, Benefits & Future of Regenerative Medicine

Image
These essential functions are not efficient with considerably reduced kidney function and a number of health problems develop which impact almost every organ system. New blood arteries may also be triggered in injured kidneys by stem cells. Improved blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the renal tissue, aiding in the regeneration of cells and helping to sustain residual kidney function. Better blood vessel health could also slow the growth of fibrosis, the replacement of healthy kidney tissue with scar tissue.  Another area of study is the interplay between stem cells and immune system. Some kinds of stem cells seem to be able to modulate immune activity and may help to reduce the overactive immune response that causes autoimmune kidney disorders or chronic inflammation. Researchers are also exploring whether stem cells might assist existing kidney cells to heal themselves more efficiently.  Stem cell treatment for kidney failure could not just replace damaged tiss...
