Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create human kidney disease in petri dishes. The achievement, believed to be the first of its kind, resulted ...

Cells growing in culture and animal models are useful in research studies, but scientists have also been creating miniature versions of human organs, called organoids, to investigate biology and ...

British researchers successfully developed kidney tissue inside of mice using human stem cells, according to a study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports. To produce the kidney tissue, ...

Making a Type-O kidney from a donor of another blood type has long been synthetic medicine's white whale. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) Share on Reddit ...

Scientists from Utrecht University, University Medical Center Utrecht and Hubrecht Institute have successfully created kidney organoids from urine cells. This could lead to a wide range of new ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have created tiny organoid models of an important part of the kidney, that may lead to new ways to study kidney diseases. The models which they call "tubuloids," are ...

A highly efficient method has been developed for making kidney structures from stem cells that are derived from skin taken from patients. The kidney structures formed could be used to study ...

University of California, San Francisco researchers have developed a model of an implantable artificial kidney that could potentially wipe away the need for dialysis. The prototype of the implantable ...

One in 10 adults over the age of 20 has kidney disease. Most are unaware of their condition, as the disease is often symptomless until its late stages. A kidney disease diagnosis may feel overwhelming ...

Using kidney organoids grown from stem cells and gene editing, scientists have re-created human kidney disease in lab petri dishes. The findings pave the way for personalized kidney drug discovery.
