“You’re on a chemotherapeutic and your oncologist may say that your dosage is X, while a nephrologist is telling you that the proximal tubules in your kidneys can’t handle it. You’re harming them.” ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

In a first-of-its-kind look at human kidney development, researchers at The Saban Research Institute of Children's Hospital Los Angeles have isolated human nephron progenitor (NP) cells. Their results ...

The kidney, a critical organ for waste filtration and fluid regulation, is the subject of a molecular mapping project that could reshape our understanding of renal health. Despite advances in ...

Vanderbilt researchers created the first high-res lipid atlas of the human kidney, mapping over 100,000 functional tissue units across 29 donors. This atlas is the most comprehensive of its kind, ...
