Simulating nephron ion transport function using activated wafer electrodeionization

The nephrons in the kidney transport ions and organic molecules, but may not work effectively in patients with kidney disease. Here, a synthetic nephron is created, based on activated wafer electrodeionization, and shown to enable the transport of several physiologically relevant ions.
