| الملخص: | In vitro models of kidneys have limited effectiveness owing to the complex structure and functions of the kidney when compared with other organs. Therefore many renal function evaluations are currently being carried out through animal experiments. In contrast, efforts are being made to apply biomimetic systems, such as organ-on-a-chip, which is based on microfluidic device technology, to serve as an in vitro model for the kidney. These systems aimed to recreate a physiological cultivation environment. This review has provided an overview of organ-on-a-chip research focused on glomeruli and tubules as in vitro models for the kidney and discusses future prospects.
