ABSTRACT
During the past decades, diverse methods have been used toward renal tissue engineering in order to replace renal function. The goals of all these techniques included the recapitulation of renal filtration, re-absorptive, and secretary functions, and replacement of endocrine/metabolic activities. It is also imperative to develop a reliable, up scalable, and timely manufacturing process. Decellularization of the kidney with intact ECM is crucial for in-vivo compatibility and targeted clinical application. Contemporarily there is an increasing interest and research in the field of regenerative medicine including stem cell therapy and tissue bioengineering in search for new and reproducible sources of kidneys. In this chapter, we sought to determine the most effective method of renal decellularization and recellularization with emphasis on biologic composition and support of stem cell growth. Current barriers and limitations of bioengineered strategies will be also discussed, and strategies to overcome these are suggested.
