Micro cap Organovo (NYSEMKT:ONVO) is up 10% premarket on average volume in response to its announcement that it presented data on in vitro three-dimensional kidney tissue at the Experimental Biology conference in Boston.
The 3D tissue, fabricated using the company's NovoGen bioprinter, consists of multiple tissue-relevant cell types arranged to recapitulate the renal tubular/interstitial interface, specifically polarized renal proximal tubular epithelial cells and a living interstitial layer of renal fibroblasts and endothelial cells.
Analyzing the tissue on a slide under a microscope showed evidence of formation of microvascular structures and stable maintenance of the layered architecture for at least two weeks
