Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC)-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) Showed Comparable Effects in Repair of Acute Kidney Injury as Compared to Adult MSCs.
CONCLUSION: This study compared the therapeutic effects of iPSC-MSCs and adult MSCs for AKI treatment. Both iPSC-MSCs and adult MSCs were observed with comparable effects in repair of AKI. The results indicated that iPSC-MSCs may serve as an alternative source of MSCs for stem cell-based therapy for AKI therapy.
