| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The kidney develops through mutual interactions between three precursor tissues: namely nephron progenitors, ureteric buds, and the stroma.The purpose of this project is to induce the three lineages from pluripotent stem cells and reconstitute the three-dimensional kidney structures. We identified genes expressed during the ureteric bud development in mice, and established a method to re-aggregate the three lineages to form the kidney structures. In addition, we transplanted the human iPS cell-derived nephron progenitors into the mice, and found that human glomeruli were connected with the host vasculature.
