Israeli Scientists Achieve World First: Growing Human Fetal Kidney Tissue from Stem Cells

TEL AVIV (VINnews)-In a groundbreaking medical milestone, researchers at Israel’s Sheba Medical Center have successfully grown human fetal kidney tissue from stem cells — a world first. The breakthrough holds immense potential for regenerative medicine, organ transplantation, and the treatment of kidney-related diseases. Scientists say the development could pave the way toward creating lab-grown organs, […]

Scientists grow pure, stable human mini-kidneys for the first time

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Sheba Medical Center achieved an unprecedented feat: creating human mini kidneys — called organoids — in the laboratory from stem cells taken from kidney tissue. These mini organs grew similarly to a developing baby’s kidney in the mother’s womb. The experiment allowed scientists to observe kidney growth step by step over several months, something impossible to do inside the human body. With this, the res…

Israeli Scientists Grow 1st-ever Functional Human Kidney in Lab

In a landmark achievement for regenerative medicine, researchers from Sheba Medical Center and Tel Aviv University have successfully grown human kidney organoids from tissue-specific stem cells, closely mirroring the process of fetal kidney development in the womb, researchers announced on Wednesday. The kidney structures matured in the lab over more than six months — making them the longest-lived and most stable lab-grown kidney organoids to da…
