Unlike other human stem cells, Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) can be produced directly from adult cells. Now, researchers have shown that human kidney podocytes produced from iPS cells via ...

In this study, we have demonstrated, using two independent normal podocyte cell lines, a previously unsuspected aspect of human podocyte biology: that differentiated podocytes are insulin responsive ...

Chronic kidney disease can quietly reshape a life long before the first lab test comes back abnormal. More than 700 million ...

This article originally appeared on Massive. The future of medical research may fit on a clear chip not much bigger than a quarter. In theory, organ-on-a-chip devices are aptly named. The engineered ...

Human stem cells are of great interest in the fields of regenerative medicine and medical research because they reproduce indefinitely and can differentiate into every other cell type found in the ...
