Glomerular basement membrane (GBM) structural integrity dictates trans-tissu... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Really proud of this Cell Reports paper showing that the potentially pathogenic laminin alpha2 in the Alport GBM comes not from glomerular cells, but from the bloodstream.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

Good news: after 390 years of manels, single-gender events are officially forbidden at Harvard. Oh. Never mind. Single-gender events are fine as long as all participants are men and occur "accidentally".

No. I'm sorry, but the youths need to learn to code switch between Professional and Online just like the rest of us.

This is one of the most powerful and heartbreaking things I have seen. These kids are hurting. Immigration enforcement has forever changed their childhood. We must protect children from policies that harm them, their families and the communities they live in. Children deserve safety and compassion.

The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

Heartbreaking. 💔

Physicians throughout Minnesota bear witness to the devastation that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is wreaking. They implore physicians everywhere to raise their voices. Read “We Do Care” by Bernard E. Trappey, MD, for Minnesota Physician Voices: nej.md/4akke1G

Being department head so far is: 75% attending meetings 15% answering emails 9% spreadsheets and 1% asking what all the acronyms mean.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

More than 100 bike rides honoring Alex Pretti have been organized around the globe since a Minneapolis bike shop Angry Catfish’s call to action. This Saturday's “unity” ride will start at Washburn Fair Oaks Park in Minneapolis at 1 p.m. Pretti was a cyclist and a customer at Angry Catfish.

Take some time to read this and make a public comment if you feel compelled.

This made me cry. I love Minneapolis so hard.

Count me in!

‘He was only helping’: Witness accounts of shooting shared A pediatrician at the scene said they saw no agents performing CPR. www.startribune.com/he-was-only-...

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.
