The current kidney care model—focused on late-stage disease and in-center hemodialysis—is unsustainable, because of costs, environmental burden, poor outcomes, and reduced quality of life.

Scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in kidney research. In a paper published in the journal Communications Biology, a team of researchers at Kyoto University led by Ramin Sadeghian present ...

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 ...

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 ...

aProximate TM is an advanced in vitro model of kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) that closely mimics physiological conditions. Derived from fresh human kidney tissue, aProximate TM PTCs are cultured ...
