aProximate TM is an advanced in vitro model of kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) that closely mimics physiological conditions. Derived from fresh human kidney tissue, aProximate TM PTCs are cultured ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that begins with tissue damage and gradually leads to loss of kidney function. The condition, which affects about 10% of the global population, ...

For the first time, researchers from both Sheba Medical Center and Tel Aviv University have grown human kidney organoids (a synthetic 3D organ culture) from tissue stem cells in the laboratory, ...

“You’re on a chemotherapeutic and your oncologist may say that your dosage is X, while a nephrologist is telling you that the proximal tubules in your kidneys can’t handle it. You’re harming them.” ...

A research effort led by scientists from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) has led to the development of more mature and complex lab-grown kidney progenitor ...

A USC Stem Cell-led research team has achieved a major step forward in the effort to build mouse and human synthetic kidneys. In a new paper published in Cell Stem Cell, the scientists describe ...

A pioneering technology has been developed that enables human kidney organoids to be produced in a scalable manner by allowing the organoids to be combined with ex vivo pig kidneys and then ...

This is the longest-lived set of developing kidney organoids derived from tissue stem cells The kidney developed over a half a year, enabling real-time observation, gene isolation for birth defects ...
