In a significant breakthrough published in Cell Stem Cell, researchers have successfully grown functional mini-kidneys from human stem cells, demonstrating many characteristics of actual kidneys including blood filtering capabilities. According to the research team, these lab-grown organs represent an important advancement in regenerative medicine, though they emphasize that clinical applications remain years away. The technology could potentially address organ transplant shortages and enable personalized disease modeling.
