Kidney aging rarely draws attention until something goes wrong. Over time, these organs quietly lose strength, filter less efficiently, and struggle to keep the body balanced.

Five years from now, regenerative medicine researchers across the U.S. say they hope to reach a milestone that will move organ transplantation forward: a kidney transplant printed from a patient’s own ...

A research team based in Kumamoto University (Japan) has created complex 3D kidney tissue in the lab solely from cultured mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. These organoids could lead the way to better ...

Fish treated with SGLT2 inhibitors maintained healthier kidneys as they aged. Their kidneys preserved denser networks of capillaries, retained a stronger filtration barrier, and showed more stable ...

A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has investigated kidney diseases using ultrafast ultrasound that captures 1,000 images in just one second. The research team ...

Researchers have created a complex kidney tissue solely from mouse embryonic stem cells. These organoids could lead the way to better kidney research and, eventually, artificial kidneys for human ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered evidence of bacteria hiding in 'noninfectious' kidney stones. These hardened clumps of small crystals are made from chemicals in urine and are thought to ...

A new study suggests that a group of drugs commonly used to treat diabetes may do exactly that. The research, recently published in the journal Kidney International, shows that medications known as ...

The African turquoise killifish ages so quickly that its entire life story can unfold between one human birthday and the next. That compressed timeline is helping scientists watch kidney aging in fast ...
