“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.” ...

Scientists just grew a miniature human kidney in the lab that filters fluid on its own — a step toward building replacement organs from scratch
More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for a kidney transplant, and most will wait years. A study published in May 2026 in npj Biomedical Innovations, a peer-reviewed Nature Portfolio journal, offers ...
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 ...
What if the road to an artificial kidney starts with a cell that simply refuses to burn out in the lab? Researchers at the University of Southern California say they have taken an important step by ...
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 ...
In a first-of-its-kind look at human kidney development, researchers at The Saban Research Institute of Children's Hospital Los Angeles have isolated human nephron progenitor (NP) cells. Their results ...
At an early stage, a nephron forming in the human kidney generates an S-shaped structure. Green cells will generate the kidneys' filtering device, and blue and red cells specialized regions ...
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, or nephrons, that make up a human kidney. But ...
