Organoid technology, as a three-dimensional (3D) culture method, provides a feasible tool to self-organize multiple types of organ-specific cells, construct inherent anatomic structures, and display functional biological activities. For the purpose of renal regeneration, renal organoids are considered as predictive options to form functional kidney substitutions in vitro. Here, we describe an accessible and convenient way to generate renal organoids without differentiation procedures using whole kidney cells.

Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
