In a Cell Stem Cell paper, a team led by Zhongwei Li at USC Stem Cell combines kidney filtering and urine-concentrating components to make “assembloids,” the most mature and complex kidney structures ever grown in a lab and a tool for developing new therapies. stemcell.keck.usc.edu/team-makes-m...

A Nature Communications paper from Nils Lindström's lab at USC Stem Cell identifies key molecular switches that generate distinct cell types within the kidney’s filtering units, or nephrons. The lab is getting closer to making therapeutic kidney cells on demand! stemcell.keck.usc.edu/scientists-u...
