METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IN VITRO KIDNEY ORGANOGENESIS

摘要

The invention provides for a device, system, and methods for using the same with kidney progenitor cells, specifically ureteric bud (UB) cells, metanephric mesenchymal (MM) cells, and the stromal cell (SC) subpopulation of the metanephric mesenchyme, to generate an embryonic kidney organoid that can be implanted into a mammalian subject to create a living, functional kidney.
