Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed highly complex human synthetic kidney organoids that ...

Patient education should function as preventive medicine instead of an afterthought delivered late in disease progression.

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 ...

A USC Stem Cell-led research team has achieved a major step forward in the effort to build mouse and human synthetic kidneys. In a new paper published in Cell Stem Cell, the scientists describe ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular pathway that appears to block kidney regeneration after injury. The body’s ability to ...

Three large randomized trials tested a simple idea: if one blood-pressure drug that blocks the renin-angiotensin system ...

Lab grown human synthetic kidney organoids (hSKOs), also known as human kidney progenitor assembloids (hKPAs), showing the formation of radial nephrons connected to a central collecting system. A team ...

Heart failure patients treated with finerenone (Kerendia; Bayer AG) are more likely to have an early decline in kidney function than those treated with placebo, but the decline should not be construed ...
