Abstract
Work toward renal generation generally aims either to introduce suspensions of stem cells into kidneys in the hope that they will rebuild damaged tissue, or to construct complete new kidneys from stem cells with the aim of transplanting the engineered organs. In principle, there might be a third approach; to engineer renal tissue 'modules' in vitro and to use them to replace sections of damaged host kidney. This approach would require the urine collecting system or ureter of the new tissues to connect to those of the host. In this report, we demonstrate a method that allows collecting duct trees or ureters, engineered from ES cells, to connect to the collecting duct system or ureter, respectively, of fetal kidneys in culture.
期刊介绍：
Organogenesis is a peer-reviewed journal, available in print and online, that publishes significant advances on all aspects of organ development. The journal covers organogenesis in all multi-cellular organisms and also includes research into tissue engineering, artificial organs and organ substitutes.
The overriding criteria for publication in Organogenesis are originality, scientific merit and general interest. The audience of the journal consists primarily of researchers and advanced students of anatomy, developmental biology and tissue engineering.
The emphasis of the journal is on experimental papers (full-length and brief communications), but it will also publish reviews, hypotheses and commentaries. The Editors encourage the submission of addenda, which are essentially auto-commentaries on significant research recently published elsewhere with additional insights, new interpretations or speculations on a relevant topic. If you have interesting data or an original hypothesis about organ development or artificial organs, please send a pre-submission inquiry to the Editor-in-Chief. You will normally receive a reply within days. All manuscripts will be subjected to peer review, and accepted manuscripts will be posted to the electronic site of the journal immediately and will appear in print at the earliest opportunity thereafter.
