    Kurt A. Zimmerman @Zimmermk1986 developed a single-cell atlas of polycystic kidney disease (#PKD) that integrates multiple disease models: The authors then used the atlas to identify increased osteopontin (Spp1) as a common factor in PKD. Spp1 deletion in PKD mouse models reduced cyst severity and improved kidney function. Importantly, the atlas can be accessed at: @yoderlab_uab @KatharinaHopp85 @daniyal_jafree @UCL_ICH_Kidney

    RT @ISNkidneycare: 🏆 Lillian Jean Kaplan Prize for PKD: Feng Qian. Learn more: “I am deeply honored and humbled to receive the Lillian Jean Kaplan International Prize. This recognition reflects the collective efforts of many outstanding colleagues, trainees, collaborators, and patients whose contributions have advanced our understanding of polycystic kidney disease. While significant progress has been made, important challenges remain. I look forward to continuing the pursuit of discoveries that deepen our understanding of PKD and ultimately improve the lives of patients and families affected by this disease.” Prof. Qian

    RT @PKDFoundation: Today is PKD Awareness Day. Awareness doesn't happen on its own. It happens because people are willing to share their stories, invite others to events, and start conversations. Learn how to get involved ➡️

    So grateful for this funding from KidneyCure 🙏 For those of us who got good, fundable scores at NIDDK but didn’t get funded (because of the various shenanigans 🙄), this is a lifeline to keep these projects alive.

    🎉 Excited to receive an #ERCPoC grant! QrCiliopathies will test the hypothesis that glutamine sensing is critical in renal ciliopathies, and an actionable node for therapeutics development. In PKD and beyond. #cilia #metabolism #mitochondria #PKD

    This is truly sad news. I have dear memories of Jim when I was starting my lab and I felt him as a kind, thoughtful supporter. He inspired many to pay it forward. R.I.P 🙏

    RT @FLAVIAZH: A reminder of how does it feel to live with PKD 💛
    PKD International @PKD_Int
    🧵💙 Behind every PKD diagnosis, there is a personal story. Living with PKD is about much more than managing a medical condition. It can mean facing uncertainty, navigating complex healthcare journeys, worrying about loved ones, and sometimes feeling alone.

    RT @MaxNACHURY: Excited to share our new paper in Science Advances on the proteome of neuronal primary cilia. We found that neuronal cilia are enriched in postsynaptic signaling proteins, including mGluR5, GABAB receptors, GPR158, ion channels, and transporters.
