Abstract excerpt
Kidney organoids are an increasingly established model of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), organoids may be generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of patients that bear naturally occurring mutations or from CRISPR mutant hPSCs by virtue of their genetic tractability. PKD is the leading inheritable cause of kidney failure (KF), accounting for...
