A research team based in Kumamoto University (Japan) has created complex 3D kidney tissue in the lab solely from cultured mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. These organoids could lead the way to better ...

Scientists at the University of Southern California have engineered synthetic organiser cells that produce localised Wnt ...

A fast-aging fish is giving scientists a rare, accelerated look at how kidneys grow old—and how a common drug may slow that process down. Researchers found that SGLT2 inhibitors, widely used to treat ...

Kidney stones are solid deposits of minerals that can form in the kidneys, also known as renal calculi. They can be made up of various types of crystals, with the most abundant crystal determining the ...

Researchers have created a complex kidney tissue solely from mouse embryonic stem cells. These organoids could lead the way to better kidney research and, eventually, artificial kidneys for human ...
