TOKYO — Researchers in Japan have succeeded in cloning a human kidney by cultivating human stem cells extracted from adult bone marrow into rat embryos, team members said Monday.
The development is expected to increase the possibility of expanding regenerative medicine to anatomically complicated organs such as the kidney and the lung as a potential means to treat patients with disorders of those organs. (Kyodo News)
