Harnessing Early Progenitors to Grow Healthy Kidney Tissue Inside the Body

The Freedman Lab used a single pool of stem cells to generate multiple cell types crucial for kidney function and showed it may be more effective to kickstart this process in vivo instead of engineering tissue outside the body for transplantation.
