Toxicology

Drugs exhibiting nephrotoxicity can impact different types of kidney cells depending on the specific drug, with a single drug capable of being toxic to various kidney cell types.
The nephrotoxic effects observed in drugs can be faithfully replicated in kidney organoids, resembling the in vivo model.
This provides a valuable platform for conducting mechanistic research on drug toxicity, enabling a detailed exploration of the underlying processes involved in drug-induced kidney damage.

· Kidney organoid

Cardiac organoids closely mimic the cellular composition of the human heart, offering an accurate representation of cardiac responses.
This fidelity allows for early identification of adverse effects, effectively preventing the progression of toxic candidates in drug development.

Toxicity testing (Cardiac organoid)

Cardiac organoids closely mimic the cellular composition of the human heart, offering an accurate representation of cardiac responses.
This fidelity allows for early identification of adverse effects, effectively preventing the progression of toxic candidates in drug development.
Moreover, these organoids facilitate the study of toxicity within the context of specific cardiac diseases.
The personalized nature of toxicity assessments is enhanced, considering individual genetic variations in drug responses.
This holistic approach significantly improves our understanding of drug safety and efficacy.
