Don't know if anyone has seen this research but it looks very promising and if successful will certainly aid ckd sufferers

Here's hoping! Where would we be without these pioneering researchers!

They've been working on this, and all sorts for a while. Stem cell and bioengineering is probably they way forward. It may not be profitable short term for dialysis machine makers and providers who are interested in their shareholders:(

Harshly put it may be a while before this is a common practice product. We live in hope!:)

I had not seen it so thanks for passing it on. It would be great if this comes to production.

Yes the day when we can simply use an artificial kidney will be a great day indeed and the days of transplants and dialysis will be a thing of the past

Wow imagin that, I certainly believe there will be a time when they will be able to replace any organ
