Human pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages modify development of human kidney organoids

Filipa M. Lopes, Ioannis Bantounas, Alexandra Sarov…·Susan J. Kimber

This study shows that adding human pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages to kidney organoids affects their development, increasing glomeruli area but also causing growth inhibition and dysmorphic tissue when added in high numbers.

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids reveal tubular epithelial pathobiology of heterozygous HNF1B-associated dysplastic kidney malformations

Ioannis Bantounas, Kirsty M. Rooney, Filipa M. Lopes…·Susan J. Kimber

This study uses HNF1B mutant kidney organoids to reveal molecular and physiological defects in dysplastic kidney malformations and identify potential therapeutic targets.
