The kidney, a critical organ for waste filtration and fluid regulation, is the subject of a groundbreaking molecular mapping project that could reshape our understanding of renal health. Despite ...
A recent scientific breakthrough has seen lab-grown kidneys successfully functioning in a human trial. This promising development has far-reaching implications for organ transplant procedures and the ...
Cells expressing PAX8 (nucleus, red) considered podocyte precursors, line the outer Bowman’s capsule. Activated during the low salt-fasting mimicking diet (LS-FMD), the cells migrate and ...
Kidney aging rarely draws attention until something goes wrong. Over time, these organs quietly lose strength, filter less ...
ENG: Confocal microscopy image of a kidney organoid on day 16 of differentiation. The cells have been labelled different colours using immunofluorescence to identify specific components: LTL (green: ...
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have made a crucial breakthrough by successfully growing “mini kidneys” in the lab and grafting them into live mice. This ...
