We have the momentum, let’s solve the problems of rFSGS, first step is to have critical mass of patients’ derived biomaterials to start answering fundamental questions that will lead us to better understanding of disease mechanisms and durable therapy🙏🏽

Small molecule APOL1 inhibitors as a precision medicine approach for APOL1-mediated kidney disease - Nature Communications Apolipoprotein L1 genetic variants contribute to a subtype of proteinuric kidney disease referred to as APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). Here the authors report the discovery and characterization...

Just saw this paper which says that APOL1 channel activity drives podocyte injury, and that small molecule APOL1 inhibitors are beneficial in a mouse model of APOL1-mediated CKD...intriguing: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Welcome @dukepump.bsky.social

Duke PUMP is our effort to address the workforce crisis in Nephrology& urology. We are accepting applications for our 3rd cohort. Only 37% of positions filled in Peds Neph this year!! We should engage young folks in career in Neph from elementary school!! #NIDDK #ASPN @asnkidney.bsky.social

Amazing, the story of the humble beginning of Congressman Shri Thanedar of Michigan @shrithanedar.bsky.social The only Pharmaceutics researcher in Congress. In him we have a huge champion for #rFSGS @rfsgsinitiative.bsky.social @kidneyomicsamps.bsky.social @genetickidneydoc.bsky.social

Great meeting!! Tough problem(s) requiring great minds and stakeholders with “can do attitude”. Amazing listening to Congresswoman Haley Stevens of Michigan linking biomedical research and workforce development to National defense!! @rfsgsinitiative.bsky.social

You're invited to the recurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (rFSGS) conference!

🚨 We are officially two weeks out from the #rFSGSConference! 🚨

Reserve your spot so you can join us in Washington, DC to discuss #rFSGS research, funding, and treatments. Register today: www.scgcorp.com/rFSGS2024/Re...

rFSGS is a major cause of kidney tx loss in FSGS. Join us on Dec 9th in DC with pts and other major stakeholders in the room to discuss how we can harness modern tools to address this area of need @kidneyomicsamps.bsky.social @genetickidneydoc.bsky.social #alessiafornoni @opeyemiolabisi.bsky.social
