A bioartificial renal tubule device embedding human renal stem/progenitor cells.

A bioartificial renal tubule device embedding human renal stem/progenitor cells.

We present a bio-inspired renal microdevice that resembles the in vivo structure of a kidney proximal tubule. For the first time, a population of tubular adult renal stem/progenitor cells (ARPCs) was embedded into a microsystem to create a bioengineered renal tubule. These cells have both multipoten...
