Building on their earlier work on heart and lung organ engineering, Jeremy Song and his colleagues have now adapted the technology of using decellularized scaffolds to develop bioengineered kidneys for transplantation. When reseeded with endothelial and epithelial cells, and after orthotopic transplantation in rats, the grafts became perfused by the recipient's circulation, produced urine and provided clearance of metabolites.
