Mini Kidney Structures Generated from Human Stem Cells


Scientists from the Salk Institute have grown three-dimensional early kidney structures, known as uteric buds, using human induced pluripotent stem cells and mouse embryonic stem cells. These mushroom-shaped buds develop into the ureter and collecting duct system of the mature kidney. The discovery not only paves the way for advances in organ regeneration, but also … Continue reading Mini Kidney Structures Generated from Human Stem Cells
