Artwork of bio-artificial kidney filter fibre
Bio-artificial kidney. Computer artwork of a single fibre of a bio-artificial kidney filter device. The hollow fibre (yellow) has an extra- cellular matrix (blue) and is lined with a one- cell layer of cultured endothelial cells (pink tube). Blood pressure forces metabolic wastes (yellow diamonds) and water molecules (blue spheres) out of the pores (holes) of the fibre. The larger protein molecules (brown folded) are retained. This filter device was developed by David Humes and his team in Michigan, USA. Professor Humes founded the company Nephros with the goal of creating from cultured cells the first bio-artificial kidney

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate design of a bio-artificial kidney filter fibre, a groundbreaking innovation in the field of medicine. Created by David Humes and his team in Michigan, USA, this filter device represents a significant leap forward in life support systems. In this computer-generated image, we see a single hollow fibre (highlighted in yellow) that is coated with an extra-cellular matrix (depicted in blue). The inner lining consists of cultured endothelial cells forming a delicate pink tube. As blood pressure circulates through the fibre, metabolic wastes are forced out through tiny pores or holes. These waste materials are represented by yellow diamonds while water molecules appear as blue spheres. The brilliance of this filtration system lies in its ability to selectively retain larger protein molecules (shown as folded brown structures), crucial for maintaining optimal bodily functions. By mimicking the natural processes within our kidneys, this bio-artificial kidney offers hope for patients suffering from renal failure. Although not mentioned for commercial use, it is evident that Professor Humes' vision extends beyond research and development. Through his company Nephros, he aims to transform these cultured cells into fully functional bio-artificial kidneys – revolutionizing healthcare and offering new possibilities for those awaiting organ transplants. This mesmerizing artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and a testament to human ingenuity at the intersection of art and science.
