METHODS OF REPROGRAMMING RENAL CELLS

摘要

A method of reprogramming a differentiated renal cell towards a progenitor phenotype is disclosed. The method comprises up-regulating in the differentiated renal cell an expression of at least one pluripotency associated gene and/or at least one renal stem cell associated gene, thereby reprogramming the differentiated renal cell towards a progenitor phenotype. Cell populations generated thereby and uses thereof are also disclosed.
