Summary:
Using principles of “tissue self-assembly” (cells coming together to form actual tissues such as a kidney, heart, lung etc.) and stem cell research, scientists involved withthe Medical University of South Carolina and Clemson University Bioengineered Kidney Project are testing the possibility of creating a new kidney from a patient's cells. The progress that already has been achieved with the project has scientists around the world excited about the potential.
Hopefully this research will lead to safe kidney replacement in patients with kidney diseases.
