In one such effort, Bonventre hopes to make a device with a sub-population of just two types of cell: proximal tubule cells and collecting duct cells. Other types of kidney cells remain important ...

Background: Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC), accounting for less than 1% of kidney cancer, demonstrates an aggressive course and extremely poor prognosis. There are still no standard treatment ...

Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer. It develops in the Bellini duct, or the collecting duct, of the kidneys. It may cause no symptoms until it is in an ...

However, Professor Nishinakamura's research group induced collecting ducts from human iPS cells via ureteric buds in 2017, and have since been attempting to reproduce cysts derived from collecting ...
