Researchers are in the process of finding ways to engineer new kidney tissue from a patient's own cells or another source. The advance could lead to more options for individuals with kidney failure, as well as better tools for understanding kidney diseases and how to treat them. Investigators can produce tissues similar to immature kidneys from simple suspensions of embryonic kidney cells, but they have been unsuccessful at growing more mature kidney tissues ...Saturday, 20 October 2012
Scientists Move a Step Closer to Tissue-engineered Kidneys
Researchers are in the process of finding ways to engineer new kidney tissue from a patient's own cells or another source. The advance could lead to more options for individuals with kidney failure, as well as better tools for understanding kidney diseases and how to treat them. Investigators can produce tissues similar to immature kidneys from simple suspensions of embryonic kidney cells, but they have been unsuccessful at growing more mature kidney tissues ...
