Arriving early or late can have big consequences for early-stage cells that gather to form a new kidney, a team of USC researchers discovered. The scientists showed how progenitor cells that form the ...

Studies were conducted on the fetuses of 15 Border Leicester X Merino ewes of known mating date. There were six control fetuses (all singletons), five fetuses that had undergone UPE to induce IUGR ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health threat, affecting over 10% of the world population, including an estimated 37 million Americans. Importantly, glomerular diseases account for 70% of all ...

Dutch researchers have engineered 3D cellular constructs called organoids for kidney research using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The organoids were ...

New animal study has drawn an association between pregnant mothers' sodium intake and their newborn's kidney development. A new animal study from Europe has drawn an association between pregnant ...

Perfectly punctual or fashionably late, it takes all kinds to build a kidney. So it is for stem cells building kidney tissue discovered timing is critical as the precise arrival of progenitor cells ...
