Strategy for nephron regeneration. MSCs were injected at the site of sprouting of the ureteric bud of E11.5 rat embryo (a). These embryos were developed in the whole-embryo culture system (b) for 48 hours. Embryos developed in this system shows the continuation of development in this system ((c): arrow, yolk sac; asterisk, placenta).
