@KSusztak @theNAMedicine @PennMedicine Congratulations, Katalin!

I am deeply honored to be elected to the @theNAMedicine From modest beginnings to this moment, I am profoundly grateful to my mentors, colleagues, trainees, and the incredible team in my lab — and to @PennMedicine and for their unwavering support in advancing precision nephrology. And to my family for their patience, endless love and support.

@rkramann @ASNKidney Congratulations! Well deserved!

Honored to receive the Donald W. Seldin Award from @ASNKidney. This is really a tribute to our incredible team and brilliant trainees. Grateful and feeling young again

100K+ Americans are waiting for a kidney transplant. @USCStemCell researchers are growing lab-based kidney structures that mimic how real kidneys filter & function. stemcell.keck.usc.edu/team-makes-maj…

@JenniferALewis1 Thank you, Jennifer!

Beautiful work @LiLab_Kidney 👏 Congratulations on this groundbreaking accomplishment!

By applying our understanding of kidney development, we were able to recapitulate some of the major renal organogenesis in vitro in our new human kidney progenitor assembloid! You can appreciate how the assembloid self-organizes in vitro! @LiLab_Kidney dlvr.it/TN7QR7

We have published in Nature Protocols a detailed protocol of our human nephron progenitor cell differentiation and expansion technology that we described last year in @CellStemCell. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you @ScienceMagazine for highlighting our research progress in this news article. Scientists make most authentic kidney replicas so far | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

Online Now! Spatially patterned kidney assembloids recapitulate progenitor self-assembly and enable high-fidelity in vivo disease modeling dlvr.it/TN7QR7 #stemcells

In a Cell Stem Cell paper, a team led by Zhongwei Li @KeckSchool_USC combine kidney filtering & urine-concentrating components to make “assembloids,” lab-grown kidney structures for developing new therapies. @USCStemCell @LiLab_Kidney @CellPressNews stemcell.keck.usc.edu/team-makes-maj…

Our newest human kidney assembloid model features the formation of spatially-patterned human nephrons connected to a central collecting system. It exhibits a variety of kidney functions in vitro and in vivo. Online now in Cell Stem Cell: cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

A @USCStemCell study, led by @LiLab_Kidney, improved the ability to cultivate nephron progenitor cells (NPCs), the cells that give rise to the kidney's filtration system. stemcell.keck.usc.edu/usc-led-study-…

A new @USCStemCell study, led by Zhongwei Li's Lab (@LiLab_Kidney), introduces a new and improved way to grow the cells that give rise to the kidney’s filtration system. @AndyMcMahonLab @LindstromLab @ukrocharity @CellPressNews @NIH_CommonFund stemcell.keck.usc.edu/usc-led-study-…

In our new Resource Article @CellStemCell we describe an expandable nephron progenitor cell-based kidney organoid platform with broad applications. Unlimited supply of human nephron progenitor cells makes us one step closer to making a synthetic kidney for transplantation.

Celebrating #WorldKidneyDay with @ukrocharity and Zhongwei Li’s lab @USCStemCell and @KeckSchool_USC. @LiLab_Kidney and colleagues @AndyMcMahonLab, @LindstromLab and @JPetiPeterdi are progressing on generating a transplantable kidney from human stem cells to replace dialysis.

Happy to share our new preprint: long-term clonal expansion of nephron progenitor cells (NPCs); genome-wide CRISPR screen in NPCs; nephron organoids with distal tubules; modeling nephron plasticity; rapid modeling and drug screening for PKD…biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@AlexKoomz @USCStemCell @LindstromLab @AndyMcMahonLab @AnaNescolarde Thanks for visiting us, Alex and Ana! Inspired by your impressive research process in kidney development and organoid! See you next week at ASN!

Great day @USCStemCell yesterday talking stem cells, organoids & kidney development with @LindstromLab @AndyMcMahonLab, @LiLab_Kidney & @AnaNescolarde, thanks for having us!

@CrumpLab Woo, very cool👍

People in my lab never cease to amaze. Hand painted costume including shirts. Serial sections of adult zebrafish. I had the honor of sectioning.

@BingfeiY @KECKSchool_USC @uscnorris Welcome to USC!

🎉My turn! Super excited to join @KECKSchool_USC @uscnorris as an Assistant Professor in early 2023. My lab will decode inter-cellular communication and intra-cellular molecular programming to develop precision immune therapeutics. Stay tuned for lab website and hiring! 1/n

@KSusztak @biorxivpreprint Wow, very cool project! Congrats!

Super proud to release out new mega projects 💫🌋 Spatially resolved human kidney multi-omics single cell atlas highlights the key role of the fibrotic microenvironment in kidney disease progression | ⁦@biorxivpreprint⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are hiring! 👇
