Kidney Organoids: Emerging Models for Kidney Fibrosis—From Current Advances to Experimental Insights

Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

This paper looks at tiny, lab-grown kidney models called organoids. Researchers use these to study how scar tissue forms in the kidney. This work happens in the lab, not in people yet. It helps scientists understand the process before testing drugs in humans.
