Bone marrow-derived cells can acquire renal stem cells properties and ameliorate ischemia-reperfusion induced acute renal injury
Abstract Background Bone marrow (BM) stem cells have been reported to contribute to tissue repair after kidney injury model.However, there is no direct evidence so far that BM cells can trans-differentiate into renal stem cells.Methods To investigate whether BM stem cells contribute to repopulate the renal stem cell pool, we transplanted BM cells f
