FINAL THOUGHTS:

- Important advances on methods to generate NPCs
- Could this become a new cell therapy in kidney disease?💉
- If VEGF-A is the key, do we really need kidney organoids, or can find another way to give it?
- More work needed to make functional, integrating kidney tissue from hPSCs! 👩‍🔬

📣 NEW PAPER ALERT! 🧵
I love kidney organoids - tiny nephron clusters grown in the lab from pluripotent stem cells. But can they treat kidney disease? New data suggests they can (in mice)!
Let's dive in ⬇️

Human iPSC–derived nephron progenitor cells treat acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease in mouse models
Expanded human iPSC–derived nephron progenitor cells secrete renoprotective factors that have therapeutic potential for AKI and CKD.
