In the lab, it’s easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units, or nephrons, that make up a human kidney. But ...
aProximate TM is an advanced in vitro model of kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) that closely mimics physiological conditions. Derived from fresh human kidney tissue, aProximate TM PTCs are cultured ...
“You’re on a chemotherapeutic and your oncologist may say that your dosage is X, while a nephrologist is telling you that the proximal tubules in your kidneys can’t handle it. You’re harming them.” ...
