RESEARCH APPLICATION
Kidney Research
Investigating the therapeutic potential of iPS-derived exosomes in renal regeneration and kidney disease.
Renal Applications in Regenerative Medicine
Kidney disease affects millions worldwide, with limited treatment options beyond dialysis and transplantation. iPS-derived exosomes represent a promising approach to renal regeneration.
Our research focuses on understanding how exosome cargo—including proteins, lipids, and microRNAs—may influence kidney cell behavior and support tissue repair processes.

Conditions Under Investigation
Current research explores iPS exosome applications across multiple renal conditions.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Research into exosome-mediated protection and recovery following acute kidney damage events.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Investigating potential applications for slowing progression of chronic renal dysfunction.
Diabetic Nephropathy
Exploring therapeutic approaches for kidney damage associated with diabetes.
Renal Fibrosis
Studying anti-fibrotic mechanisms to address scarring and loss of kidney function.
Proposed Mechanisms
Research suggests several pathways through which iPS exosomes may support kidney health.
Tubular Regeneration
Supporting repair of damaged kidney tubule cells after injury.
Anti-Fibrotic Effects
Potential to reduce scarring and preserve kidney tissue structure.
Inflammation Modulation
Helping regulate inflammatory responses in kidney injury.
Cell Protection
Protective effects on renal cells during stress conditions.
Current Research Stage
Renal applications of iPS-derived exosomes are currently in preclinical investigation. Research is ongoing to understand mechanisms, optimize delivery, and establish safety profiles.
Important Considerations
- These therapies are investigational and not yet approved for clinical use
- Results from preclinical studies may not translate to human outcomes
- Additional research is needed to establish efficacy and safety
