    Abstract Although the past two decades have seen substantial proportional growth of home hemodialysis in the United States, the absolute number of patients treated with home hemodialysis remains small. Currently available stationary hemodialysis devices for use in the home have inherent limitations that represent barriers for more widespread adoption by a larger proportion of individuals with kidney failure. These limitations include device weight and bulk, ergonomics considerations, technical complexity, vascular access challenges, and limited remote patient monitoring. Recent years have witnessed a resurgence in research and development of prototype wearable kidney replacement devices incorporating innovations in miniaturization, new biomaterials, and new methods for toxin clearance and dialysate regeneration. Recent work has built on five decades of incremental innovation in wearable dialysis concepts and prototypes, starting from the work by Kolff in the 1970s. Wearable dialysis devices that successfully overcome key persistent barriers to successful development and adoption of these technologies will radically reshape the landscape of kidney replacement therapies and have the potential to dramatically improve the lives of individuals living with kidney failure.

    Abstract Kidney disease is a global health crisis affecting more than 850 million people worldwide. In the United States, annual Medicare expenditures for kidney disease and organ failure exceed $81 billion. Efforts to develop targeted therapeutics are limited by a poor understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying human kidney disease onset and progression. Additionally, 90% of drug candidates fail in human clinical trials, often due to toxicity and efficacy not accurately predicted in animal models. The advent of ex vivo kidney models, such as those engineered from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and organ-on-a-chip (organ-chip) systems have garnered considerable interest owing to their ability to more accurately model tissue development and patient-specific responses and drug toxicity. This review describes recent advances in developing kidney organoids and organ-chips by harnessing iPS cell biology to model human-specific kidney functions and disease states. We also discuss challenges that must be overcome to realize the potential of organoids and organ-chips as dynamic and functional conduits of the human kidney. Achieving these technological advances could revolutionize personalized medicine applications and therapeutic discovery for kidney disease. Expected final online publication date for the

    Abstract Shiga toxin (Stx) causes significant renal microvascular injury and kidney failure in the pediatric population, and an effective targeted therapy has yet to be demonstrated. Here we established a human kidney microvascular endothelial cell line for the study of Stx mediated injuries with respect to their morphologic, phenotypic, and transcriptional changes, and modeled Stx induced thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in flow-mediated 3D microvessels. Distinct from other endothelial cell lines, both isolated primary and immortalized human kidney microvascular endothelial cells demonstrate robust cell-surface expression of the Stx receptor Gb3, and concomitant dose-dependent toxicity to Stx, with significant contributions from caspase-dependent cell death. Use of a glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor (GCSi) to target disruption of the synthetic pathway of Gb3 resulted in remarkable protection of kidney microvascular cells from Stx injury, shown in both cellular morphologies, caspase activation and transcriptional analysis from RNA sequencing. Importantly, these findings are recapitulated in 3D engineered kidney microvessels under flow. Moreover, whole blood perfusion through Stx-treated microvessels led to marked platelet binding on the vessel wall, which was significantly reduced with the treatment of GCSi. These results validate the feasibility and utility of a bioengineered ex vivo human microvascular model under flow to recapitulate relevant blood-endothelial interactions in STEC-HUS. The profound protection afforded by GCSi demonstrates a preclinical opportunity for investigation in human tissue approximating physiologic conditions. Moreover, this work provides a broad foundation for novel investigation into TMA injury pathogenesis and treatment. Insight Box: Shiga toxin (Stx) causes endothelial injury that results in significant morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population, with no effective targeted therapy. This paper utilizes human kidney microvascular cells to examine Stx mediated cell death in both 2D culture and flow-mediated 3D microvessels, with injured microvessels also developing marked platelet binding and thrombi formation when perfused with blood, consistent with the clinical picture of HUS. This injury is abrogated with a small molecule inhibitor targeting the synthetic pathway of the Shiga toxin receptor. Our findings shed light onto Stx-induced vascular injuries and pave a way for broad investigation into thrombotic microangiopathies.
