Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) prevented the progression of renovascular hypertension, improved renal function and architecture.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) prevented the progression of renovascular hypertension, improved renal function and architecture.

Renovascular hypertension induced by 2 Kidney-1 Clip (2K-1C) is a renin-angiotensin-system (RAS)-dependent model, leading to renal vascular rarefaction and renal failure. RAS inhibitors are not able to reduce arterial pressure (AP) and/or preserve the renal function, and thus, alternative therapies...
