Mini-kidney organoid (2 mm dimaeter) grown from pluripotent stem cells. Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) have combined cutting-edge, gene-editing techniques with stem cell science to for the first time...

Researchers modeled kidney development and injury in kidney organoids (shown here), demonstrating that the organoid culture system can be used to study mechanisms of human kidney development and toxicity. Photo courtesy of Ryuji Morizane. New technique...

Harvard stem cell researchers have successfully coaxed stem cells to become kidney tubular cells, a significant advance toward one day using regenerative medicine, rather than dialysis and transplantation, to treat kidney failure. The findings are...
