#BasicResearch

In 2024, NIH-supported #BasicResearch led to several noteworthy advances, including insights into the H5N1 avian flu outbreak, mapping how cancers form and spread, and progress in understanding the brain.

Our kidneys have their own “body clock.” A #basicresearch study in #ASNKidney360 suggests that in ADPKD, that clock may be disrupted as cysts grow. Researchers hope these findings could lead to new ways to protect kidney function in the future.

Why are some glomeruli more vulnerable than others? According to #basicresearch in #ASNJASN, Single-nucleus RNA-seq of 860K+ kidney nuclei identified juxtamedullary podocytes as hotspots of stress and senescence, showing location as key determinant of glomerular risk.
