A team led by USC Stem Cell scientist Zhongwei Li, PhD, has produced some of the most complex and mature lab-grown kidney ...

A research team based in Kumamoto University (Japan) has created complex 3D kidney tissue in the lab solely from cultured mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. These organoids could lead the way to better ...

Researchers have created a complex kidney tissue solely from mouse embryonic stem cells. These organoids could lead the way to better kidney research and, eventually, artificial kidneys for human ...

A loss of salt and body fluid can stimulate kidney regeneration and repair in mice, according to a new study. This innate regenerative response relies on a small population of kidney cells in a region ...

Your kidneys are more than just bean-shaped organs—they’re life-sustaining filtration systems. From the protective layers on the outside to the intricate nephrons inside, every part plays a role in ...

Over 93,000 people in the US are in need of a kidney transplant. Our kidneys are delicate organs that can be damaged by a poor diet, overuse of alcohol or anti-inflammatory drugs, and high blood ...
