Representative fields before and 24/48 hours after exposure

Bright-field images before and 24 and 48 hours after doxorubicin exposure show changes in kidney organoid morphology.

Study application

Cisplatin molecular readouts in H9-derived organoids and doxorubicin morphology in a separate human kidney study provide complementary molecular and structural views of kidney injury.
