Stem cells and renal development in 2015: Advances in generating and maintaining nephron progenitors

Nature Reviews Nephrology 12, 67 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2015.203 Author: Ryuichi Nishinakamura 2015 saw the publication of several important studies in the renal stem cell and developmental biology fields. Key studies provided insights into the ageing of nephron progenitors and optimal conditions to stimulate the expansion of nephron progenitors, and reported the in vitro generation of kidney organoids.
