Age-Related Changes and Loss of Damage Resistance of Kidney Tissue: The Role of a Decrease in the Number of Kidney Resident Progenitor Cells

We described the available studies on resident renal stem cells, their niches, morphology, possible markers, and the dynamics of their numbers during the aging process. The reasons for the age-related decline in renal regenerative potential are considered based on molecular and cellular mechanisms.
