This concise review reports the current knowledge about resident or exogenous stem/progenitor populations and their derived bioproducts demonstrating therapeutic effects in kidney regeneration upon injury. In addition, possible approaches to nephrogenesis and organ generation using organoids, decellularized kidneys, and blastocyst complementation are surveyed.
