Research has shown that a kidney transplant improves survival rates and quality of life for the hundreds of thousands of Americans with end-stage renal disease compared to remaining on dialysis.

A team developed a human iPS cell-derived kidney organoid-based proximal tubule-on-chip -- OPTECs-on-Chip -- that mimics in vivo renal physiology more closely than ever before. This model exhibits ...

HHS and CMS have finalized a new, mandatory model for kidney transplant coordination across 103 hospitals. The model aims to increase access, address disparities and improve care coordination for ...

A growing repertoire of cell and molecule-based immunotherapies is offering patients with indomitable cancers new hope by mobilizing their immune systems against tumor cells. An emerging class of such ...

Researchers developed tubuloids from adult kidney cells. When exposed to cisplatin, the model replicated key steps in the chronic kidney disease progression, including DNA damage, cellular senescence, ...
