Jun. 19--Using stem cells from a mouse embryo, Japanese scientists say they have generated functioning kidneys in three mice, an advance applauded yesterday by American scientists who see the development as a significant step toward stem cell-derived kidneys for humans.

Hiromitsu Nakauchi of the University of Tokyo presented his studies yesterday in Australia at the International Society for Stem Cell Research.

Mouse embryos engineered to lack a critical gene needed to grow their own kidneys were injected with stem cells before implantation into ...
