Funded Activity Summary

To investigate alternative strategies to treat end stage renal disease we have transplanted embryonic kidneys into the wall of the abdominal cavity of adult hosts where they become vascularised and undergo continued but limited development. Strategies to enhance their growth-development and decrease immunogenicity-rejection will now be determined, and the origin of a 'ureter-like' tube of tissue that grows to connect the transplanted embryonic kidney with the recipient bladder investigated.
