The breakthrough holds immense potential for regenerative medicine, organ transplantation, and the treatment of kidney-related diseases. Scientists say the development could pave the way toward creating lab-grown organs, reducing the global shortage of transplantable kidneys.
“This is a historic achievement that could transform the future of organ replacement,” said the lead researcher, noting that the technique may eventually be applied to other vital organs.
Sheba Medical Center, already recognized as one of the world’s top hospitals, has once again placed Israel at the forefront of global medical innovation.
