Proud to have played a small part in this with London Tubular Centre Tldr; if you travel to Mars your kidneys will feel ok, but you'll need to be on dialysis for the return journey... UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences UCL News nature.com/articles/s4146โฆ
Space travel alters the kidneys, with cosmic radiation causing damage that would jeopardise any mission to Mars, finds new research involving Dr Keith Siew & Prof Stephen Walsh DoM_UCL UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences, part of a Nature Portfolio package on spaceflight & health ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jun/โฆ
Proud to have played a small part in this along with Lori Colรณn, PhD Sanghee Yun and the twitterless Fred Kiffer. Our team Children's Hospital Penn Penn Postdoctoral Association Penn Medicine got really good at kidney collection lol Keith Siew is a FORCE! #CosmicKidneyDisease #NASA
I guess I forgot they recorded some video too! But for those interested there are a few more minutes of audio: standard.co.uk/comment/podcasโฆ Click below to read more about the #CosmicKidneyDisease research we did at the London Tubular Centre paper in Nature Communications ๐ฉโ๐๐rdcu.be/dKwBE
Check out Keith Siew on the Tech & Science Daily Podcast The Standard talking about our #CosmicKidneyDisease research. To read more about the research led by the London Tubular Centre see our paper in Nature Communications ๐ฉโ๐๐ทrdcu.be/dKwBE

Major thanks to Kevin Nestler who was incredible and really helped us pull together all the various and disparate Omics data, and integrate them together for pathway analysis. Absolute Star!

๐ Keith Siew took us to outer space this morning with a great seminar about the effects of spaceflight on the kidney. Cosmic kidney disease is a thing! Thanks for hosting Michael Vaughan and Sarah Vergult !
๐Today Keith Siew gave an excellent talk on his recent Nature Communications paper on the effects of spaceflight on kidneys ๐. He got the FunGen Lab @ UGent team (even more) excited about space research ๐๐งฌ๐. Thanks a lot Michael Vaughan for inviting him and arranging all the logistics!
Great talks and posters at EUROoCS in the sunny Milan Politecnico di Milano ๐ฎ๐น โon organ-on-chip and microfluidics ๐งซ glad to be able to present the work from London Tubular Centre UCL Renal on collecting duct organ-on-chip models๐ฌ and chat to different researchers from all over Europe! ๐ช๐บ
Thrilled to see our paper be featured on the cover of nature! It was an absolute pleasure to work with London Tubular Centre & 100s of people from across the world, many of whom were instrumental in putting together our Nature Communications Cosmic Kidney Disease paper! nature.com/articles/s4146โฆ
Great to see the Umbrella paper for the package making it to the front cover of nature in print (with Keith Siew & Stephen B. Walsh as co-authors). Hard to believe our Nature Communications Space paper has 24k accesses & 99.98th percentile on Altmetric after 3mo nature.com/articles/s4146โฆ
