Figure 2 Regenerative capacity of adult renal progenitors.
Proposed adult renal stem cells were isolated and transplanted into hosts with injured kidneys. These progenitors homed to the site of injury and repopulated the renal tubular epithelium robustly. This supports a model in which an adult stem cell population contributes to kidney regeneration after acute injury.
