Distinguishing a kidney toxin from its look-alike, in real time

Learn how a 3D kidney model watches toxicity unfold.

The push toward new approach methodologies is converging on the same expectation: nephrotoxicity data should come from systems that behave like a human kidney, with structure and transporter expression that hold up over weeks.

This application note tests a human proximal tubule model by dosing it side-by-side with cisplatin and oxaliplatin. Although these two compounds are structurally similar, the model tracks their toxicity profiles diverging live.

Download this application note to explore how:

  • The model separates toxicity thresholds by sevenfold
  • Fluorescence and standard viability assays part ways at different doses
  • Cisplatin exposure reshapes tubule structure
