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

Key takeaways

Researchers grew tiny lab-made kidney tissues from human stem cells and worked on giving them a blood supply, using flow through the tissue and special scaffolds. Better blood vessels could help these mini-kidneys grow and work more like the real organ. This was done in the lab, not in people, so it is early groundwork toward future treatments.
