ISCT 2020 | Renin producing human kidney organoids

Anushka Shankar, MD, MSc, of Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, discusses the development of human kidney organoids from stem cells, that can restore the endocrine system, including renin production. Furthermore, Dr. Shankar outlines the next steps in research, including determining how physiological interactions may affect renin production. This interview was recorded via an online conference call with The Video Journal of Regenerative Medicine (VJRegenMed).
