Abstract
Human kidney cells quickly degenerate in culture, precluding them as a source for cell therapy for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Herein, Harari-Steinberg et al. show that upon culturing as 3D nephrospheres, human kidney cells regain their epithelial phenotype and acquire in vivo tissue-forming and reparative properties in a CKD mouse model.
