Happy to contribute along with many other colleagues to the 2 Kidney papers bridging @KPMProject and @_hubmap that are just out today in @Nature and @NatureComms : nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4146…
Happy to share this review @NatRevNeph and hoping it will be a resource to advance the field and our understanding of what Uromodulin does. Kudos to all authors especially Azuma Nanamatsu! nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4158…
Kidney cells can protect themselves during injury, but the mechanisms were unclear. ASCI member Tarek M. El-Achkar @AshkarLab & team @IUMedSchool now show that oxidative stress induces an isoform of uromodulin that re-routes to the mitochondria to enhance energy production.…
Very nice excited to see this work published and also the super well done editorial by @Vishal_D_Patel

Congratulations to Mike Eadon @EadonLab and Takashi Hato from @IUKidney for being inducted to @the_asci !!!!!
Looking forward to this tomorrow!
How do trillions of cells work together to form & maintain the human body? @AshkarLab & @sarahteichmann1 will guide you through 3D & 4D spatial imaging, uncovering how organs function, develop, & respond to disease. Join the discussion! fcld.ly/hyh0vuq #CellMapCrew
From the 3D micro-environment of the kidney to 4D atlasing of human organs, explore how cutting-edge imaging & spatial technologies are transforming #biomedicalresearch. Join @AshkarLab & @sarahteichmann1 at this live event! fcld.ly/hyh0vuq #CellMapCrew #HumanCellAtlas
Way excited to be participate in this superb Spatial Biology forum! Should be a great discussion!

Urine for a renal treat today & we're not being irrational! It is #worldkidneyday2025 & #PiDay, so it's time for a slice of kidney pi(e))! This CODEX image of a kidney pi slice was made by #hubmap researchers Drs. Tarek Ashkar & Sanjay Jain @wustl, no kidney-ing around!
