Kidney-on-a-Chip

Kidney-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device that consists of multiple chambers lined with human kidney cells, such as proximal tubule cells to mimic the structure and function of a human kidney on a small scale. The kidney-on-a-chip allows researchers to study the physiological and pathological processes that occur in the kidney in a controlled and reproducible environment.

What We Can Do for You

Kidney-on-a-chip provides a more accurate model of the human kidney compared to traditional animal models, making it a valuable tool for studying kidney function and diseases such as kidney stones, diabetes-related kidney damage, and polycystic kidney disease, as well as investigating how drugs or toxins affect kidney function. STEMart is able to utilize kidney-on-a-chip to provide the following services:

• Disease modeling: Study the progression and mechanisms of kidney diseases such as polycystic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, and kidney cancer and develop new treatments.
• Drug screening: Identify efficacy, toxicity and potential side effects of new drugs early in the drug development process and reduce the need for expensive and time-consuming animal studies.
• Personalized medicine: Create personalized models of a patient's kidney to test how an individual's kidney cells will respond to different treatments.
• Toxicity testing: Assess the potential toxic effects of environmental chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other compounds on the kidney and develop strategies to minimize exposure.
• Biomarker discovery: Identify and validate new biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring of kidney diseases by studying the response of kidney cells to different stimuli.
