Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our study investigated if low intensity pulsed ultrasound; LIPUS that was known to be effective for bone regeneration was also effective for renal tubular regeneration. We got the data of renal tubular regeneration by LIPUS histologically and now we are investigating the mechanism of that regeneration function.
