Regenerative Medicine and Kidney Tissue Engineering

Uncover the potential of stem cells and bioengineered tissues in kidney repair. This session explores innovations in 3D bioprinting, scaffolding technologies, and stem-cell-derived nephron units. Learn how induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are being used to model kidney diseases and test therapeutics. Discover breakthroughs in organoid development and their application in drug screening and toxicity studies. Understand the challenges in vascularization, integration, and functional maturation of engineered kidney tissues. Gain insights into translational research aiming to bring lab-grown kidney components closer to clinical use.
