Author: Susan J. Allison
In vitro models that mimic the glomerulus could aid understanding of glomerular disease processes and potentially guide therapeutic discovery. Researchers now report a method for directing the efficient differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into podocytes that can be co-cultured with human
