Now: UCSF (the hospital my brother is taking his residency at, so it must be good!) collaborated with a number of scientists, engineers, and doctors to create a prototype for the first implantable, artificial kidney - ever! Woah! That's pretty neat.
Next: Making it small enough to fit inside a human and run safely and effectively over time and inside the body (a current model has treated very sick patients, but is external to the body).
Wow! The future is now! And also in the future!
