A reference tissue atlas for the human kidney

Key takeaways

Scientists built a detailed map of the cells inside the human kidney, in both healthy and diseased tissue. The map shows which cell types are there and how they interact. This is early lab work using donated tissue, not a treatment tested in living patients. Its aim is to help researchers find new targets for future kidney drugs.
