Current research on stem cells and their application in treating liver and kidney diseases suggests significant therapeutic potential. Stem cell therapies have shown promise in conditions such as liver cirrhosis, drug-induced liver injury, chronic kidney disease, and others. Despite positive outcomes in clinical trials, practical implementation faces challenges, particularly regarding the stability of stem cell differentiation and potential risks like tumor formation. Further basic mechanistic studies are essential to validate the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapies.
The collection aims to explore the cellular biology characteristics of stem cells and their specific mechanisms in treating liver and kidney diseases. It will focus on investigating relevant signaling pathways and biomarkers associated with stem cell activities. The primary goal is to address current knowledge gaps in the field and develop more effective protocols for stem cell therapies. The anticipated outcome is advancements that enhance patients' quality of life, extend survival rates, and maximize organ function restoration.
The scope of this research topic includes in-depth examinations of stem cell biology as applied to liver and kidney diseases. We invite contributions that delve into molecular mechanisms, such as stem cell differentiation, interactions with host tissues, and therapeutic outcomes. Manuscripts may cover preclinical and clinical studies, reviews of recent advances, and original research identifying new biomarkers or therapeutic strategies. This proposal aims to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and contribute to transformative therapies in regenerative medicine. We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews, methods, data reports, technology, code, and other types of manuscripts.
