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.

Cell Type

· iPSC

Organoid type

· 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.
