Gene-Edited Human Kidney Organoids Reveal Mechanisms of Disease in Podocyte Development
14 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract A critical event during kidney organogenesis is the differentiation of podocytes, specialized epithelial cells that filter blood plasma to form urine. Podocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC-podocytes) have recently been generated in nephron-like kidney organoids, but the developmental stage of these cells and their capacity to reveal disease mechanisms remains unclear. Here, we show...
