The applications of organoids in kidney diseases: progress and challenges

Key takeaways

This is a review of kidney organoids, which are tiny kidney-like tissues grown in a dish from stem cells. It covers what they can already do, such as modeling kidney disease and screening drugs, and where they fall short, such as having no blood supply and staying immature. It reports no new experiments of its own. Lab-grown kidney tissue is a research tool right now, not a treatment for people.
