Recently in Nature, Davidson and coworkers (Diep et al., 2011) identified nephron progenitors/stem cells located at the point of fusion with the pronephric tubules in adult zebrafish. Clumps of progenitors give rise to functional nephrons after serial transplantation, demonstrating the ability of tissue stem cells to regenerate damaged kidney structures.
