The kidney, a critical organ for waste filtration and fluid regulation, is the subject of a groundbreaking molecular mapping project that could reshape our understanding of renal health. Despite ...

A recent scientific breakthrough has seen lab-grown kidneys successfully functioning in a human trial. This promising ...

A USC Stem Cell-led research team has achieved a major step forward in the effort to build mouse and human synthetic kidneys.

The human body can survive weeks without food, but only days without water. Yet millions of people walk around in a state of chronic dehydration, completely unaware that their kidneys are slowly ...

Photography: Steve Wood For the first time in a human, genetically modified pig kidneys provided “life-sustaining kidney function” during the course of a planned seven-day study — all while using ...

Transplanted mouse and human organoids showed kidney-like functions like blood filtration, protein uptake, and urine production.

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 ...
