aProximate TM is an advanced in vitro model of kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) that closely mimics physiological conditions. Derived from fresh human kidney tissue, aProximate TM PTCs are cultured ...

A team developed a human iPS cell-derived kidney organoid-based proximal tubule-on-chip -- OPTECs-on-Chip -- that mimics in vivo renal physiology more closely than ever before. This model exhibits ...

“You’re on a chemotherapeutic and your oncologist may say that your dosage is X, while a nephrologist is telling you that the proximal tubules in your kidneys can’t handle it. You’re harming them.” ...
