Characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)- derived Kidney Organoids as a Platform to Assess Drug-Induced Nephrotoxicity.

Key takeaways

Researchers created tiny 3D kidney models from human stem cells. These models are called organoids. They are used to test if new drugs might harm the kidney. This work was done in the lab, not in people yet. It helps scientists screen drugs before they are tested in humans.
