Urine-Derived Cells in Kidney Transplantation: Linking Cellular Phenotypes, Secretome Signatures and Multi-Omic Technologies

Key takeaways

This is a review article about cells collected from urine, which can be grown in the lab and studied. Researchers hope these cells can show how a transplanted kidney is doing without a needle biopsy. The paper describes the technology and what it might measure. It reports no new patient results, so there is nothing here to act on yet.
