Kidney casts contain high levels of PROM1, a marker linked to cell damage and dedifferentiation based upon new #ASNCJASN study. kidney.pub/CJASN0982

Times have changed. Reviewing papers stopped being predominantly a duty and an academic privilege, to also becoming an integral part of a multi-billion dollar publishing industry. Compensate reviewers? Any other examples of industry sustained by free work?

@ivivek87 Thanks! Yes, there were intermediary states THY1+, PROM1+(and VCAM1+), but loss of THY1 and persistence of PROM1 seems to correlate with injury and maladaptive repair.

@AshkarLab Congratulations! PROM1 has always been a bit double edged sword. Really interesting to see this.

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.
