The paper compares single-cell chromatin and gene expression data from human and mouse kidney development to identify conserved and divergent features and human-specific enhancer regions linked to kidney disease.

This paper develops a synthetic niche to expand nephron progenitor cells, enabling organoid generation and CRISPR screening for kidney development and disease.

This study maps the cellular diversity of the embryonic mouse coronal suture using single-cell transcriptomics, identifying key markers and cell types involved in suture development and fusion.

The paper generates kidney collecting duct organoids from ureteric bud progenitors and stem cells to study development and disease of the collecting system.
