This also avoids the kidney transplantation. The Man-made kidney has a silicon membrane which filters the blood to remove the toxins-These toxins pass as waste to the bladder.
Further, a bed of kidney cells regulate the chemical balance of the blood. The bed of kidney cells are grown by tissue culture. Now stem-cell research and tissue culture have come to stay. This will also
