Precision cut kidney slices

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Precision-cut kidney slices refer to thin sections of the kidney tissue that are prepared using a microtome to study kidney functions, drug metabolism or disease processes. Researchers use these slices to study the impact of substances on renal function.[1][2] This includes drug metabolism[3][4] and the effects of toxic substances.[5]
