Bioengineering: Kidney glomerulus-on-a-chip

Nature Reviews Nephrology 13, 382 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2017.79 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
