I wrote a short piece on how becoming an IgA Nephropathy patient has changed my perspective on biomedical research, developing an appreciation for the challenges in data interpretability & availability and the importance of patient engagement www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am beyond thrilled to see this resolution on kidney health adopted by the WHO. What an achievement!

Integrins in the kidney — beyond the matrix | Nature Reviews Nephrology The development and proper functioning of the kidney is dependent on the interaction of kidney cells with the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). These interactions are mediated by heterodimeric membrane-bound receptors called integrins, which bind to the ECM via their extracellular domain and via their cytoplasmic tail to intracellular adaptor proteins, to assemble large macromolecular adhesion complexes. These interactions enable integrins to control cellular functions such as intracellular signalling and organization of the actin cytoskeleton and are therefore crucial to organ function. The different nephron segments and the collecting duct system have unique morphologies, functions and ECM environments and are thus equipped with unique sets of integrins with distinct specificities for the ECM with which they interact. These cell-type-specific functions are facilitated by specific intracellular integrin binding proteins, which are critical in determining the integrin activation

Integrins in the kidney, beyond the matrix! These receptors mediate interactions with ECM, crucial for kidney function, by forming large adhesion complexes. #KidneyScience PMID:39643697, Nat Rev Nephrol 2025, @NatRevNeph @nkf @ASNKidney https://doi.org/10.1038/s41581-024-00906-1 #Medsky #Pharmsky 🧪

From an NIH source re. grant terminations

"These searches are pulling in things based on 'other support' sections and biosketches, so science may be held up just because someone mentions that they serve on a DEIA committee, or has a completely different grant that uses a 'problematic' word.
