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.

Humbled and grateful to get an Impact Score of 10 and receive NIH Director’s New Innovator Award (DP2 grant). Many thanks to NIH Common Fund, my amazing team members, collaborators, and supporters! Together, we build a kidney! USC Stem Cell Keck SOM of USC Nephrology UKRO



Happy to co-write for Developmental Cell with Nils Nils Lindstrom this Spotlight article highlighting Kyle and Joe’s recent kidney CD organoid work Nature Biotechnology We also discuss the future of this field. authors.elsevier.com/a/1fub45Sx5gq7…








Celebrating #WorldKidneyDay with UKRO and Zhongwei Li’s lab USC Stem Cell and @KeckSchool_USC. Zhongwei Li and colleagues McMahon Lab, Nils Lindstrom and Janos Peti-Peterdi are progressing on generating a transplantable kidney from human stem cells to replace dialysis.

A new USC Stem Cell study, led by Zhongwei Li's Lab (Zhongwei Li), introduces a new and improved way to grow the cells that give rise to the kidney’s filtration system. McMahon Lab Nils Lindstrom UKRO Cell Press NIH Common Fund stemcell.keck.usc.edu/usc-led-study-…

A USC Stem Cell study, led by Zhongwei Li, improved the ability to cultivate nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells that give rise to the kidney's filtration system. stemcell.keck.usc.edu/usc-led-study-…

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.
