Novel CKD therapy alert: Phase 2 REGEN-007 shows autologous cell therapy (rilparencel) may slow eGFR decline in diabetic kidney disease, with reassuring safety. A bold step from protecting nephrons to regenerating them.

In kidney transplant recipients, dapagliflozin produced robust glucosuria but no significant increase in proximal natriuresis, with an early GFR dip but no sustained BP lowering. Safety was reassuring: no infections, AKI, or ketoacidosis.
