Progressive loss of kidney function leads to reduced production of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D; active vitamin D) and an imbalance in serum calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) levels, which are associated with progression of renal failu...
Protective actions of administered mesenchymal stem cells in acute kidney injury: relevance to clinical trials [0.03%]

Patients with terminal cardiac or renal disease have few therapeutic options besides organ transplantation. Optimally, cell therapies would be used both in acute and chronic stages of such diseases. In the injured myocardium, the main thera...

In this review, we present (1) a brief discussion of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for severe and refractory autoimmune diseases (AIDs) from its beginning in 1996 through recently initiated prospective randomized clinical t...
Role of SDF-1 as a regulatory chemokine in renal regeneration after acute kidney injury [0.03%]

Both the homing of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to the bone marrow and their engraftment in recipients of bone marrow transplants are primarily mediated by the chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) or CXCL12, which activates CXCR4, ...
