The achievement bolsters hopes that nonhuman animals could be used to remedy the shortage of transplantable organs.

COVID-19 affects far more than just the lungs. Researchers are actively documenting the damage the disease causes to the heart, brain, liver, and much more.

Researchers’ painstaking examinations have begun to reveal how the virus wreaks havoc in multiple organs and tissues.

Her work led to more predictable outcomes for kidney transplants.

The link between SARS-CoV-2 and potential stress to kidneys is unclear, but damage to the organs has been documented in adults with COVID-19 too.

Scientists have developed a tissue-clearing protocol that allows them to peer into entire, transparent human organs.

Single-cell-resolution imaging offers a glimpse into lymphatic vessel formation in the mouse embryo.

In kidney organoids, brain and muscle cells also develop.

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, scientists grew podocytes, cells that attach to the kidney's glomeruli and help filter blood.
