Association of Serum Afamin Concentrations With Kidney Failure in Patients With CKD: Findings From the German CKD Cohort Study bit.ly/4fWGYES #OpenAccess #VisualAbstract

Super cool project! Maybe it's time for a NephGen comic? 🤔

Thank you to everyone who joined this years' EUKISS Summer School!!! 🎉🙏 It was an amazing meeting with lovely people, impressive science and hopefully many future collaborations and projects. 😍 See you next year in Aachen! #EUKISS25 #EUKISS

Huge congratulations to Dr. Magdalena Brislinger-Engelhardt for defending her PhD thesis today 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳

Registration for this year’s EUKISS summer school in Freiburg, Germany, is now open! Join us in July for two days of discussions around the basis of kidney functions and their relevance for kidney disease! Registration & program ➡️ www.eukiss.org

🧬 Looking forward to presenting at the #ESHG2025! Our GWAS & EWAS studies of 10,000+ individuals reveal how genetics & epigenetics regulate trace element metabolism. Visit our poster P18.057.D today at 4pm! Huge thanks to @sfb1453.bsky.social, @zkutalik.bsky.social, and all collaborators involved!

Congratulations to the CIBSS team for this outstanding achievement! So well deserved!!! 🎉👏👏

Wondering whether you should read the great kidney disease genetic scorecard paper by @hongbo919.bsky.social @ksusztak.bsky.social on 2.2Mio people? Here 👇 rdcu.be/eejuB Matthias Wuttke at @sfb1453.bsky.social and I report some highlights for you (and recommend reading the original work) #nephgen

please re-post! we are looking for a PhD candidate: www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/en/career/jo...

Freiburger Forschende zeigen, wie seltene „Nonstop-Mutationen“ die Proteinbildung stören und die Entstehung von #Nierenkrebs fördern können. Erkenntnisse bieten Potenzial für bessere Diagnosen und Therapien. Link zur Studie: t1p.de/ytfs3 #Medizin #Forschung

This study challenges the idea that KDM5D in male cells functions equivalently to the second KDM5C allele in female cells, implicating an interplay between KDM5C mutation and Y chromosome loss in ccRCC development in men. @sfb1453.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Congratulations to @sfb1453.bsky.social PIs Athina Ganner, Elke Neumann-Haefelin, Ian Frew, and Sven Diedierichs and their teams! 👏👏👏 Nonstop mutations cause loss of renal tumor suppressor proteins VHL and BAP1 and affect multiple stages of protein translation www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
