Happy to share our latest work on the role of actin-mediated ciliogenesis in the context of glomerular kidney disease! Huge team effort!! Many thanks to everyone in involved!

Arp2/3-dependent regulation of ciliogenesis governs adaptive distal tubular epithelial cell states in kidney disease Proteinuria causes ciliary elongation and actin cytoskeleton remodeling, revealing a key mechanism in kidney disease progression.

Method of the Year 2024: spatial proteomics - Nature Methods Approaches for profiling the spatial proteome in tissues are the basis of atlas-scale projects that are delivering on their promise for understanding biological complexity in health and disease.

I could not be more thrilled to announce the Nature Methods @naturemethods.bsky.social Method of the Year is Spatial Proteomics! Please see our editorial as a roadmap to the fantastic content in this special issue! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fun fact:

Although scientific journals have existed in some form since the 1600s, external peer review only became standard in the 1970s.

(So yeah… Einstein’s theories, Watson & Crick’s double helix, penicillin, insulin, etc. - all published without helpful comments from Reviewer 2.)

Imagine seeing a disease's impact on every cell in the body. Now, you can! We introduce MouseMapper, an AI tool to reveal system-wide disease perturbations. It reveals obesity-induced changes in facial nerves & body-wide inflammation 👉🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08....
