In a Cell Stem Cell study, scientists from the USC Stem Cell lab of Andy McMahon generated kidney-like structures called organoids, and used them to identify potential drugs for adult-onset polycystic kidney disease.

In our new Resource Article Cell Stem Cell we describe an expandable nephron progenitor cell-based kidney organoid platform with broad applications. Unlimited supply of human nephron progenitor cells makes us one step closer to making a synthetic kidney for transplantation.
