Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 700 million people worldwide and is caused by genetic and environmental factors, as well as existing medical conditions. Known genetic risk factors for ...
Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create human kidney disease in petri dishes. The achievement, believed to be the first of its kind, resulted ...
A new breakthrough in kidney transplant research may change how patients experience life after surgery. Instead of spending a lifetime on immune-suppressing drugs, some people are now living drug-free ...
More than 4 million people worldwide have end-stage kidney disease that requires hemodialysis, a treatment in which a machine filters waste from the blood. Hemodialysis is a precursor to kidney ...

Stem cell scientists unlock blueprint for lab-grown kidney cells with preclinical value
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 ...
