MDI Bio Lab scientists discover how the fish solves a basic challenge in regenerative biology-insights in their newest ...

The kidney protection is complicated because ACE inhibitors always increase the creatinine level, making it look like they hurt the kidney. Deep inside the kidney, blood flow to the nephron (the ...

Chemical engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a device that simulates the blood filtering and ion transport functions of the human kidney. The technology could ...

In videos created by the Hughes Lab to visualize the process, adjacent nephrons form one after the other, as if they were following a beat. “It’s still a hypothesis,” adds Hughes, “but we think that ...

Using 3-D printing, scientists have created tiny, intricate tubes that work like key components of real kidneys. Many more steps are needed before they can make artificial kidney replacement parts, ...

A pair of USC Stem Cell mouse studies detail how progenitor cells self-renew, differentiate, and aggregate into early kidney structures, offering insights for the creation of stem cell-based ...
