The differentiated cells expressed multiple genes expressed in intermediate mesoderm and could spontaneously give rise to tubular structures that expressed markers of mature kidney tubules.

Lam, MD, and colleagues of the Harvard Institutes of Medicine in Boston, described in the recent Journal of the American Journal of Nephrology (AJN), that they used a combination of chemicals to change human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into cells expressing markers of the intermediate mesoderm, the earliest tissue of the developing embryo that will give rise to kidneys.
