Stem Cell Mobilizers: Novel Therapeutics for Acute Kidney Injury

摘要

In the past decade, rapid developments in stem cell studies have occurred. Researchers have confirmed the plasticity of bone marrow stem cells and the repair and regeneration effects of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells on solid organs. These findings have suggested the possibilityof using bone marrow stem cell mobilizers to repair and regenerate injured organs. Recent studies on the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and Plerixafor (AMD3100) on mouse acute kidney injury models have confirmed that the use of bone marrow stem cell mobilizers maybe an effective therapeutic measure. This paper summarizes studies describing the effects of G-CSF and AMD3100 on various acute kidney injury models over the past 10 years.
