Bioengineering and nephrology converge to drive kidney-targeted therapies
Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 26 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41581-025-01037-xEffective kidney-targeted therapeutics require careful consideration of both the cargo and carrier. In the past year, considerable progress has been made in the development of viral and non-viral delivery vehicles, by leveraging endogenous biological mechanisms, screening across multiple species and administration routes, and artificial intelligence to drive kidney selectivity.
