Abstract
Provided herein are compositions, systems, kits, and methods for generating human podocyte cells by contacting human nephron progenitor cells with an FGFR pathway inhibitor, a BMP pathway inhibitor, and a WNT pathway inhibitor. In certain embodiments, the nephron progenitor cells are further contacted with at least one factor selected from: BMP4, BMP7, lysophosphatidic acid, and gamma-secretase inhibitor XX. In certain embodiments, the contacting the nephron progenitor cells is performed under serum-free conditions.
