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 ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

A research team led by Indiana University School of Medicine physician scientists has made significant progress in mapping kidney cells that may one day allow for more accurate disease diagnosis.

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 ...

Kidney fibrosis, a common endpoint of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is strongly linked to aging, with cellular senescence emerging as a key driver in its pathogenesis. This overview synthesizes ...

Researches made major strides toward the creation of artificial kidney tissue by demonstrating an undiscovered mechanism behind kidney development and a novel technique for culturing kidney cells, ...

Enabling patients to generate CAR T-cells internally could cut kidney cancer therapy costs, explained Dr. Wayne Marasco of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In vivo CAR T-cell therapy could drastically ...
