Video - Mini-kidney organoids
Dr. Benjamin Freedman discusses his laboratories latest work on mini-kidney organoids. His research group was able to produce organoids with some of the characteristics of polycystic kidney disease, including the formation of cysts. The organoids are revealing information about the progression of the disease, as well as factors that contribute to kidney cyst formation.
