Researchers published a Nature Biomedical Engineering study describing a reproducible method to produce thousands of human kidney organoids and the first experiments integrating those organoids into porcine kidneys during normothermic ex vivo perfusion. Teams at IBEC and collaborating institutions demonstrated scalable organoid production and perfusion‑based infusion into pig kidneys, followed by short‑term transplantation back into animals for viability assessment. The combined papers report both manufacturing scale and a proof‑of‑concept transplant step, advancing organoid translation and highlighting ex vivo perfusion as a platform for graft remediation and preclinical testing.
