Our last day was focused on better understanding life with #kidneydisease and the role of charities in supporting patients and research. Thanks to the donor and patient who talked to us about #Cystinosis and the impact this disease has in one's life. We learned so much from you!

How to visualise the microcirculation of the kidney in the context of cell therapies? Katerina Apelt, a RenalToolBox ESR working at LUMC Leiden reviews imaging techniques to uncover renal microvascular morphology, function, and behaviour in a new paper: mdpi.com/2073-4409/10/5…

Congratulations to Katerina Apelt, working at LUMC Leiden, for her contribution to the paper "Endothelial Zeb2 preserves the hepatic angioarchitecture and protects against liver fibrosis", where she applied Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging to image the liver.

We are now hearing from Ms. Sandra Calcat Sandra Calcat i Cervera PhD who has developed an impressive panel of characterisation assays to compare the properties of the different MSCs being used in our ITN. Now testing their effect in in vitro models of renal disease.

Are extracellular vesicles from MSCs all the same, whether they come from bone marrow, adipose or umbilical cord tissue? Renata (@RSkovronova), an ESR working at the University of Turin with Benedetta Bussolati, looks at this question in her latest publication: mdpi.com/2073-4409/10/1…

Delighted to share my work at the RenalToolBox International Conference, today deepening into our understanding of MSC Therapies for renal diseases🙌🏻

NEWS: Teams at the College led by Dr Cynthia Coleman are collaborating with Irish medtech company Zoan BioMed to design a novel way of tracking and measuring the formation of bone in a lab. 🔗➡️ universityofgalway.ie/about-us/news-…

Big congratulations to Sandra (Sandra Calcat i Cervera PhD) for passing her PhD examination last Friday! 🥳🍾Fantastic news and very well deserved! Sandra was a RenalToolBox ESR working at NUIG (@remedinuig MSc in Regenerative Medicine).

Great to see another collaborative work from the RenalToolBox published. This one by ESRs Renata Skovronova (working with Benedetta Bussolati, U. Turin),Sandra Calcat (Sandra Calcat i Cervera PhD, NUIG) and Elenora Scaccia (U. Heidelberg), on effects of adipose MSC bioproducts. link.springer.com/article/10.118…
