A terrific day of presentations at the Epithelial Transport Group Pre-Meeting, including a wonderful Steve Hebert lecture by Dr Volker Vallon… thanks to all speakers and moderators… what a great kick off for #APS2024 in Long Beach! APS ETG

Big thanks to the organizers of the APS ETG Meeting for Young Scientists for the opportunity to share our work on Mg handling in the distal nephron. Off to a good start! ✅ Day 1 of #APS2024 #JustKidneying #MuDPhuDlyf Catch our poster at P0842 on Saturday, April 6. See you!

Excited to share our work on a new regulatory mechanism of kidney tissue regeneration by macula densa cells led by Georgina Gyarmati jci.org/articles/view/…

The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) comprises two subsegments with different functional and molecular characteristics. This study found transcriptomic analysis of an enriched rare cell population clarifies the function and classification of distal cells bit.ly/JASN0297

New study of the mouse brain and kidney by Alejandra Becerra Calderon Georgina Gyarmati et al shows the direct effects of #angiotensin II on endothelial cells and its role in #hypertension associated endothelial dysfunction. #AHAJournals Keck School of Medicine of USC USC Zilkha Neuro Institute & PHNS Department ahajrnls.org/4ek7B6X

A loss of salt & body fluid can stimulate #kidney regeneration, according to a study led by USC Stem Cell scientist Janos Peti-Peterdi (Janos Peti-Peterdi) & published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation (Journal of Clinical Investigation).

Dos de mis previas estudiantes reciben uno de los 20 grants que da la ASN en 2024. Jessica Bahena-Lopez, ahora fellow en Portland y María Castañeda-Bueno, investigadora del INNSZ y la única de los 20 que está fuera de USA. The Molecular Physiology Unit rules!!!!! Departamento de Nefrología y Metabolismo Mineral

Congratulations Janos Peti-Peterdi Georgina Gyarmati & the team Keck School of Medicine of USC on a thrilling #research breakthrough in #kidneyregeneration! Learn more about their discovery of a new mechanism for kidney tissue repair & promising regeneration therapy: jci.org/articles/view/…

So excited to have found El Norte Recuerda Magical Realism…”in the wild” at Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon! Except I picked up the last copy and Powell's Books better restock ASAP!

Wow! Great to see a trainee and a collaborator describing the virtues of Kidney Cure ( both trainees of my friend and colleague, Gerardo Gamba )

📰 Just published in JCI insight insight.jci.org/articles/view/… TL;DR: A new Thick Ascending Limb (TAL) cell classification shows this segment independently regulates: 🔷 Monovalent (Na⁺, K⁺) 🔶 Divalent (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) 👀 Fresh lens on TAL 👇

I am very proud to share the publication of our group by German Magaña-Ávila Germán Magaña Ávila. commanded by María Castañeda-Bueno MARIA CASTAÑEDA, showing the role of NRBP1 and TSC22D in WNK body formation and WNK4-NCC activation. Kudos María! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congrats MARIA CASTAÑEDA, Germán Magaña Ávila. , Gerardo Gamba, and David Ellison

Excited to share that our latest study on Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase (MTAP) inhibition in acute kidney injury has just been published at AJP Renal ! During my PhD and postdoc in Dr. Kumar Sharma’s lab, we discovered that inhibiting MTAP offers significant protection
