In the kidney, epithelial cell transporters actively remove protein-bound uremic toxins from the blood, a process that can’t be replicated by the existing dialysis membranes. Bioartificial kidneys are a promising approach not only to equip dialysis membranes with the ability to do so, but also to one day make these bioengineered tubules available for implantation. Prof. Roos Masereeuw in close cooperation with other researchers works on the development of this novel technology. She provides a comprehensive overview on the state-of-the-art as well as an exciting prospect on the next steps that need to be taken before the application in clinical practice.
