The Future of Artificial Kidneys and Organ Regeneration

Scientists are developing wearable artificial kidneys for continuous filtration.
Bioengineers aim to grow lab-made kidneys from stem cells.
Nanotechnology could soon mimic nephron function in microchips.
3D-printed scaffolds may help rebuild damaged kidney tissue.
Portable dialysis machines are becoming more efficient and compact.
Artificial organs could end transplant shortages within decades.
Regenerative medicine may allow damaged kidneys to heal themselves.
Researchers are studying how to reprogram cells into kidney tissue.
The dream is a self-sustaining, fully regenerative filtration system.
The next generation of kidneys may be designed—not just grown.
