Stem cell biologist wanting build an artificial kidney and understand development. My lab is at https://lindstromlab.usc.edu/ Director of ASCEND See our spatial transcriptomic, organoid, and stem cell program https://ascend.usc.edu

Excited we can generate nephron cells for preclinical trials. We will continue to perfect the proximal tubule model and are going deep into understanding nephron injury programs and following up on druggable targets that could solve acute kidney injury and maladaptive repair.

A Nature Communications paper from Nils Lindström's lab at USC Stem Cell identifies key molecular switches that generate distinct cell types within the kidney’s filtering units, or nephrons. The lab is getting closer to making therapeutic kidney cells on demand! stemcell.keck.usc.edu/scientists-u...

Mostly, just advertising Jack Schnell's* impeccable taste in figure color choices. *soon to be first set of Ph.D. graduates from lab @lindstromlab.bsky.social. Here he describes the development of nephron cells in stem cell derived kidneys.

Happy holidays! A very cool looking kidney organoid, courtesy of senior Ph.D. student MaryAnne Achieng in the @lindstromlab.bsky.social.
A fluorescently stained kidney organoid made from stem cells. It shows cells and nuclei that are the precursors of potassium reabsorbing cells in the adult nephron.

Want to highlight how a really fun collaborative project, Nils is as close as it gets to the prototypical omniscient kidney developmental biologist, it was so fun to learn from him about this fascinating developmental system. @lindstromlab.bsky.social

It has been such a fun project to work on and the collaboration with your lab has just taken it to a different level - great to work with true synbio magicians! I am now more convinced than ever before that artificial organs of the future will rely on synthetic inputs that tune self-organization.
