Generation of kidney organoids from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) is regarded as a potentially powerful way to study kidney development, disease, and regeneration. Direct differentiation of PSCs towards renal lineages is well studied, however, most of the studies relates to generation of nephron progenitor population from PSCs. Until now, differentiation of PSCs into ureteric bud (UB) progenitor cells demonstrates limited success. Here, we describe a simple, efficient and reproductive protocol to direct differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) into UB progenitor cells. The mESC-derived UB cells were able to induce nephrogenesis when placed in the interaction with the primary metanephric mesenchyme (pMM). In generated kidney organoids, the embryonic pMM developed nephron structures and the mESC-derived UB cells formed network of collecting ducts, connected with the nephron tubules. Altogether, our studies established an uncomplicated and reproducible platform for kidney disease modelling, drug testing and regenerative medicine applications.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
