Bioengineering an implantable artificial kidney (IAK) will require renal epithelial cells capable of reabsorption of salt and water. We used genome engineering to modify cells for improved Na + /H + exchange and H 2 O reabsorption. The non-viral piggyBac transposon system enables genome engineering cells to stably overexpress one or more transgenes simultaneously.
