Intermingling nephrologists Conference 2013 focuses on emerging and ground-breaking research. It will gather nephrologists and active investigators from surrounding medical areas to explore new scientific domains and review the latest developments in kidney disease. Using an interactive format, Intermingling nephrologists Conference 2013 will allow nephrologists to develop a collegial relationship with leading researchers from other disciplines.
Stem cells represent the seeds of tissue regeneration and a promising source for novel therapies. Converging evidence suggested that they represent basic units of development and regeneration also in the kidney. Understanding the mechanisms that control renal progenitor fate and function represents the crucial step for translating kidney regeneration into the clinic and initiating the age of regenerative nephrology.
Sessions focus on:
- Regeneration: What it is and how does it occur
- Regeneration: lessons from other organs
- The bone marrow: a stem cell paradigm and source
- Renal stem/progenitor cells across evolution
- Renal stem/progenitor cells in mammalian kidney
- The balance among regeneration and repair: the scar
- Progenitor driven disorders in the kidney
- Strategies for kidney regeneration: cell therapy, other options and mechanisms
- Stem cells in the clinics: Results from clinical trials
