Modeling Kidney Disease and Regeneration with Organoids Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Listen now
Description
Benjamin Freedman, Ph.D., delves into the creation and functionality of kidney organoids. He discusses their focus on filtration over hormone functions, and answer intriguing questions about urine characterization and the necessity of organoid structures. Freedman explores the use of scaffolds for implants and ponder the philosophical implications of off-target cells in organoids, questioning whether these cells are a natural part of organ development.
