Inflammation has long been a warning sign in kidney clinics, a red flag that often appears years before a patient tips into ...

Kidneys perform a vital function in removing waste and toxins from the blood, but how exactly cells transport that fluid through the organs has remained a mystery. Now researchers at Johns Hopkins ...

Cells growing in culture and animal models are useful in research studies, but scientists have also been creating miniature versions of human organs, called organoids, to investigate biology and ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that begins with tissue damage and gradually leads to loss of kidney function. The condition, which affects about 10% of the global population, ...

Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create human kidney disease in petri dishes. The achievement, believed to be the first of its kind, resulted ...

Mini kidney Australian researchers have grown a rudimentary kidney in the laboratory from human stem cells, an advance they say could lead to better ways of treating renal disease and testing drug ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been called an “under-recognized public health crisis,” and is estimated to impact 14% of US adults. CKD patients typically have to undergo regular dialysis treatment ...

Dr. Ari Hakimi highlighted how tumor profiling and molecular markers are expanding access to precision-based trials for kidney cancer. At the 2025 Kidney Cancer Research Summit (KCRS), Dr. Ari Hakimi, ...

Symptoms of stage 3 RCC vary; some patients experience blood in the urine, flank pain, fatigue, weight loss, or a palpable abdominal mass, whereas others are diagnosed incidentally during imaging for ...

Research interests: The primary goal of my lab is to explore kidney biology using normothermic ex vivo perfusion. Sustaining human and porcine kidneys in a physiologic state outside the body provides ...
