They can carry out tasks that no other technology or drug can perform. No treatments are available that can repair the damaged cells or replace them with normal ones. Morphogenic proteins can play a unique role here. Recently, the enzyme, talomerase, a product of talomeres that constitute the extreme ends of the chromosomes, seems to regenerate liver cells see Geron. Talomerase levels decrease with age.
Several diseases subject the kidneys to damage.
Kidney damage can progress to renal failure. No treatment is available to repair the damage. All possibilities exist. Feasibility Proof of concept has been offered first through the successful use of cytokines, then through the advancement through trials of Creative Biomolecules products for bone fractures and molecules for kidney, brain and spinal cord repair. Ontogeny has gone as far as developing small molecule morphogenic proteins and probably morphogenic protein stimulators.
