The Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) has embarked on research work toward the building of the bioartificial kidney (BAK), which consists of living primary human renal proximal tubule cells (HPTCs) grown as confluent monolayers in a bioreactor. These HPTCs would provide for the im...
