The Kidney Project successfully tests a prototype bioartificial kidney
"combined the two essential parts of its artificial kidney, the hemofilter and the bioreactor, and successfully implanted the smartphone-sized device for preclinical evaluation... The units worked in tandem, powered by blood pressure alone, and without the need for blood thinning or immunosuppressant drugs... sustainably support a culture of human kidney cells without provoking an immune response"
