Abstract:
Expression of exogenous SNAI2, EYA1 and SIX1 genes in a cell, tissue or organ not normally having nephron progenitor activity, induces or re-programs that cell to have or subsequently develop nephron progenitor activity. Nephron progenitors induced 5 by expression of SNAI2, EYA1 and SIX1 may be used for the production of nephron cells and tissues that are useful in treatment of kidney disorders, kidney regeneration, kidney transplantation, bioprinting and nephrotoxocity testing.
