Vascularization of Human iPSC-Derived Kidney Organoids Using Perfusion Culture, Pre-Vascularized Collagen Scaffolds, and Decellularized Extracellular Matrix.

Key takeaways

Scientists grew tiny lab-made kidneys, called organoids, from stem cells. They added blood-vessel networks using flow culture and special scaffolds to keep the tissue alive and more kidney-like. This is early lab work, not a treatment for people yet.
