New Dimensions in Diabetic Kidney Disease Research: Advanced Organoids and Organs-on-a-Chip.

Key takeaways

A review of two newer lab models for studying kidney disease caused by diabetes: organoids, which are tiny clumps of lab grown kidney tissue, and organ on a chip devices, which pump fluid past human kidney cells. Both aim to copy a real human kidney better than flat cell dishes or animal tests do. Better models could speed up drug testing. This is a summary of lab tools, so there are no results for patients yet.
