Fetal Kidney Transplantation for In Utero Fetuses

This paper describes a novel fetal therapy approach using transplanted fetal kidneys from different species to provide a bridge to dialysis in affected fetuses, demonstrating successful urine production and long-term function without immunosuppressants.

Generation of human-pig chimeric renal organoids using iPSC technology

This study generates human-pig chimeric renal organoids using modified human-mouse chimeric methods, demonstrating successful interspecies kidney development.

Advancing marker-gene-based methods for prokaryote-mediated multifunctional redundancy: exploring random and nonrandom extinctions in a watershed

The paper refines a marker-gene-based method to quantify multifunctional redundancy in prokaryotic communities by incorporating non-random extinction scenarios and applying it to aquatic ecosystems.
