Hey #PKD research community 👋 Check out this call for papers from ⁦AJP Renal⁩👇 The pathophysiology and therapy of polycystic kidney disease journals.physiology.org/ajprenal/the-p…

Two great talks in one afternoon Boston Medical Center & Boston U Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine by Laurence H Beck, Jr of BU/BMC Section of Nephrology on #IgAN, an #autoimmune disease, followed by Wilson Wong of Boston University Biomedical Engineering BU Engineering on #CART therapy for #autoimmune disease. #Science transnational #research connected both 👏

Presented at #ERA24: Antinephrin autoantibodies occur in adults with minimal change disease and children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and appear to be disease activity markers. Their binding at slit diaphragms may induce podocyte dysfunction. nej.md/3UU5o9u

Excellent talks from Jonathan and Vivikta of Dr. Jie Zhang Lab in the BU/BMC Section of Nephrology #Kidney Research Program (KRP) research seminar series this week on mechanistic understanding of #APOL1-mediated diseases in #hypertension and #preeclampsia👏👏👏

As an estimated 2,000 people looked on, Melissa L. Gilliam was installed as Boston University’s 11th president at an inauguration ceremony at Agganis Arena on September 27. The historic event was marked by pageantry, music, and a nod to BU’s rich history. ❤️🐾 Take a look 👀⬇️

It's so true Ben Humphreys: "the worst performers were the givers... And yet... the higher the giving behavior, the better the organization performs on every measure of productivity that he could measure. Givers sacrifice themselves, but they make their organizations better.👏👏
