  • Patent number: 11925726
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a perfusable-type bio-dual proximal tubule cell construct and a producing method thereof capable of applying an in vitro artificial organ model configured to include a first bioink comprising a decellularized substance derived from a mammalian kidney tissue and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and a second bioink comprising the decellularized substance and renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs), wherein the first bioink and the second bioink are coaxial and printed in tubular constructs having different inner diameters. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to use the renal proximal tubule-on-a-chip as a bioreactor capable of observing a biological drug reaction similar to a real drug by perfusing various drugs to the renal proximal tubule-on-a-chip.

  • Publication number: 20240074258
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display device, which may be fabricated using a described method. The display device includes a glass substrate including a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface, an outermost structure on the first surface of the glass substrate and located adjacent to an edge of one side of the glass substrate, and a display area including a plurality of light emitting areas on the first surface of the glass substrate and located farther from the edge of the one side of the glass substrate than the outermost structure is. A minimum distance from the side surface of the glass substrate to the outermost structure is equal to 130 ?m or less.

  • Publication number: 20230174950
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kidney organoid having a nephron-like structure and a production method therefor. A kidney organoid culture system using kidney dECM hydrogels according to the present invention induced the vascularization of the kidney organoid and the expression of podocytes, tubular transporters, and cilium genes, and has an effect of forming a more mature nephron-like structure. Therefore, the kidney organoid produced by the method of the present invention is an option for treating nephron loss through transplantation into humans, and is expected to be utilized as a kidney on a chip, which is an in vitro kidney model.
