In a study published in Cell Stem Cell, USC scientists report significant progress in cultivating nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells destined to form the kidney's filtration system, the ...
A pair of USC Stem Cell mouse studies detail how progenitor cells self-renew, differentiate, and aggregate into early kidney structures, offering insights for the creation of stem cell-based ...
New safety and efficacy data of the ongoing phase I/II study (ASET Study) with an allogeneic tumor vaccine and adjuvant in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Background: Recently, the ...
In videos created by the Hughes Lab to visualize the process, adjacent nephrons form one after the other, as if they were following a beat. “It’s still a hypothesis,” adds Hughes, “but we think that ...
