By applying our understanding of kidney development, we were able to recapitulate some of the major renal organogenesis in vitro in our new human kidney progenitor assembloid! You can appreciate how the assembloid self-organizes in vitro! @LiLab_Kidney dlvr.it/TN7QR7

We have published in Nature Protocols a detailed protocol of our human nephron progenitor cell differentiation and expansion technology that we described last year in @CellStemCell. Hope this is helpful!

In our new Resource Article @CellStemCell we describe an expandable nephron progenitor cell-based kidney organoid platform with broad applications. Unlimited supply of human nephron progenitor cells makes us one step closer to making a synthetic kidney for transplantation.
