Böbrek Nakillerinde ve Hastalarında Mezenkimal Kök Hücrelerin Potansiyel Kullanımına İlişkin Mesleki Yeterliliklerin Geliştirilmesi
▶Summary
Kidney disease is a widespread global health problem. The World Health Organization reports that 5 to 10 million people die each year worldwide from kidney disease. It is estimated that by 2040, chronic kidney disease will be the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. To date, routine multidrug therapies available for medical treatment of kidney disease have only delayed the progression of the disease. The project aims to research Mesenchymal stem cell therapy and examine applications in this field. Within the project's scope, applications and good practices at the partner institutions will be examined, the exchange of good practices will be supported, and innovative projects with high-added value will be observed on-site.
▶Objectives
Today, the most common area of use for stem cells is the transplantation of these cells to replace damaged cells, tissues, and organs. For this purpose, critical studies are being conducted on heart, kidney, and pancreas organ failures. The usability of stem cells in treating diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, stroke, cancer, autoimmune and congenital diseases is another important area of study. What is known about the abilities and capacities of stem cells is still in its early stages, and it is believed that the areas of use of stem cells will expand significantly in the future. Within the framework of the issues mentioned above, we prepared our project proposal as partners from Turkey, Italy and the Netherlands who are experts in their fields and have similar needs. Our project aims to conduct theoretical and clinical research on the application of Mesenchymal stem cells in kidney transplants and patients and to develop the professional skills of the personnel working in this field.
