Research abstract
Our research is part of an ongoing program to develop artificial equivalents of the renal glomerulipresent application will to identify the best combination of synthetic materials, biologic compoundsproduce a bioartificial renal tubule. Renal tubular progenitor cells will be grown as a confluent momaterial lining the internal surfaces of hollow fibers. The function of these tubules, singly and inassessed under various conditions and the best configuration determined.
