Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. However, in tissue this water is bound and associated for a big part to the polysaccharide Hyaluronan. This gel-like component of tissue is critical to tissue repair development rdcu.be/dR9WX@NatRevNeph@reNEW_Global

Terrific Nature paper that will greatly improve the analysis of spatial transcriptomic data!
Working on this as an editorial advisor was a blast, and more publications are coming!
I'm sure @KSusztak@HumphreysLab will like it, as well as @10xGenomicsnature.com/articles/s4158…
COL4A3 and COL4A4 pathogenic variants in the normal population: redefining Alport syndrome?
By Judy Savige
✏️@drvt87#ERA24#SoMe team
💥Time to change from Alport syndrome to Alport spectrum!!
⚡️ XL- kidney failure in males and 20% of females by the age of 60
⚡️ AR-kidney failure in males and females
⚡️ Digenic Alport syndrome
⚡️ AD-haematuria; kidney failure is uncommon
Presented at #ERA24:
In this phase 2 randomized trial, the CD38 monoclonal antibody felzartamab showed acceptable safety and promising efficacy among patients with chronic antibody-mediated kidney-transplant rejection. Read the full trial results: nej.md/4dHQhsa
New work from the @RabelinkT lab shows that a cell-free nutrient-supplemented perfusate allows 4-day ex-vivo preservation of human kidneys using spatially resolved lipidomics and metabolomics, @LUMC_Leiden, @reNEW_Globalnature.com/articles/s4146….
Using spatial metabolic flux we identified the conditions to preserve discarded human donor kidney’s for at least 4 days ex vivo. Such an approach also holds the potential for resuscitation and could increase the window for organ allocation. rdcu.be/dHL6W
International consensus statement published in @NatRevNeph calls for urgent action to address CKD on the global public health agenda. Read “Chronic Kidney Disease and the Global Public Health Agenda: An International Consensus” ➡️ doi.org/10.1038/s41581…
reNEW (@reNEW_Global) scientists from @LUMC_Leiden developed and validated a platform for generating GMP-compliant hiPSC lines. 🧫
The platform entails the methodology for donor recruitment, donor material procurement, hiPSCs manufacture, and more.

reNEW researchers in the @LUMC_Leiden have established an in-house platform to produce #GMP-compliant #hiPSCs. The platform is a key milestone as it allows the production of hiPSC derived cell therapy products developed in reNEW for clinical purposes.
