(453) Silicone Kidneys on the Horizon?

This morning I received an email from one of my colleagues (David Ray) asking if I had seen the new issue of Wired; specifically Megan Molteni's article on the future of implanting artificial kidneys.  Her article report the results of ongoing research, testing, and design work from the last 20 years and some of the funding history over those years.  

Now there is exciting news on the possibility of actually implanting an artificial kidney and people "signing up" for being considered when clinical trials begin in 2018 or thereabouts. 

Exciting Futures for folks on Dialysis!
