Three-Dimensionally Reconstructed Kidney Glomerulus Simulates Structural and Functional Characteristics In Vitro
A study published in Advanced Healthcare Materials describes the bioengineering of three-dimensional (3D) kidney glomerular microtissues that replicate the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) ...
Kidneys work to constantly filter blood and remove toxins from the body. Conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) are characterized by a reduced ability to perform this essential function. CKD ...
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 ...
Researchers have developed the first model of kidney filtration in the lab that accurately mimics human kidney physiology. The model represents a leap in chronic kidney disease research and could help ...
