Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania create extensive kidney single-cell atlas for predicting chronic kidney disease progression.
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine created the most extensive single cell atlas of the human kidney, capturing healthy and diseased kidney complexity. This groundbreaking research, published in Nature Genetics, predicts chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression earlier in its course and aids in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. CKD affects 37 million Americans, with higher risks for those with diabetes or high blood pressure. The kidney atlas offers new insights into potential treatments.
