Research overview

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically common kidney disease. Let-7b-5p downregulation may lead to increased renal AKI susceptibility, thus indicating that this miRNA is a potential driver of the MSC treatment response in AKI.

Key findings

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically common kidney disease.

Age is an important factor that contributes to the susceptibility to AKI.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising therapy for AKI, and miRNAs in exosomes (Exos) derived from MSCs are an important aspect of MSC treatment.

However, the therapeutic effect of miRNA from MSC-derived Exos on AKI and the related mechanism have not been fully clarified.
