New hope for kidney failure

The US scientists said that from the kidney of a laboratory mouse, they successfully reproduced the kidney with biological techniques, opening new hope in supporting and treating patients with kidney failure.

>>>Create kidney cells from stem cells successfully

This process begins with a procedure to remove all living cells from a kidney of a laboratory mouse, leaving only the outer shell composed of collagen.

Then, with a muscle tube or also called a urinary tube, the researchers implanted other living cells into the appropriate parts of this "empty" kidney, including human cell membranes - often present in vascular of human kidney - and kidney cells of newborn pups. As a final step, they transplant the complete kidney into the rat's body that previously removed the kidney.

The results were surprising when this regenerated kidney began to process dialysis and produce urine through the ureter, and at the transplant site there was no sign of bleeding or blood clots.

The head of the research group Harald Ott said that transplanting different types of cells on the kidney frame is available to allow the agency to work more efficiently. However, according to Mr. Ott, it is necessary to refine the cell types in order to improve the functioning of the kidney and there are many steps to be taken in order to prevent possible uncertainties before this technique is applied in human.

Ott hopes that the new step in the study will be the foundation for developing large human implants, allowing patients to receive new kidneys made of cells in the muscle. body without waiting for kidney donation. This also aims to limit the reaction of newly transplanted kidneys and reduce the suppression of immune system activity for a long time.
