Brief description It has been shown that a mature cell type can be reprogrammed to a different type of cell in vivo via the introduction of genes critical during an earlier stage of organ development. In this way, new beta-islet cells in the pancreas can be made. In this study, we will use our understanding of kidney development to redirect the cells of the kidney tubules to dedifferentiate and form new nephrons. This may ultimately result in a regenerative strategy to treat chronic renal disease.
