Scalable generation of human stem cell-derived ureteric bud and collecting duct organoids in stirred bioreactors.

Preprint D Not peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

Researchers found a way to grow small kidney tissues in a lab. They used a machine that stirs the cells to help them grow. This was done in a lab, not in people yet. It may help make more kidney tissue for testing drugs.
