Abstract

Little and colleagues demonstrate the plasticity of the distal nephron epithelium present within kidney organoids, showing that this can be induced to adopt a ureteric epithelial phenotype. Subsequent maturation of this epithelium generated collecting ducts, facilitating the accurate modeling of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease.
