🧵 🧪 STOP-PKD study | Expanding recruitment across Europe: stop-pkd.de/en The STOP-PKD study continues to expand, marking an important step forward for ADPKD research in Europe.

I usually think twice before posting preprints. But this time it’s different. MEDA-PKD is the essence of our work over more than a decade — and, to me, one of the most meaningful contributions I’ve been able to make to biomedical research. 🧵

New publication on hereditary kidney tumors. Our questionnaire-based screening approach (referenced in the German giudeline) has now been validated. A step toward better identification of patients who may benefit from genetic evaluation and personalized care. 📖 academic.oup.com/ckj/advance-...

ADPKD comes with increased risk of aneurysms. This manifestation comes concern, for both patients and MDs. Risk assessment? Screening? Treatment decisions? This ERA Genes&Kidney commentary provides fin-depth guidance based on the @kdigo.org ADPKD guideline. academic.oup.com/ndt/article/...

1/ 🧬 Exciting news! Our group just published a paper in Nature Communications on using serum proteomics to predict disease progression in #ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease) 🔬 — enhancing risk stratification beyond currently available models 🎯 rdcu.be/exbNq

📺 Patient-scientist collaboration – key to investigator-initiated trials: SGLT2i and beyond. In this video interview, Prof. @muellerrom.bsky.social highlights the power of working together: scientists, patients, and advocacy groups united to tackle the big questions in #PKD #PKDInternational

Samantha Filipow did a great job in defending her thesis on the role of a lncRNA in podocyte disease! Congratulations Samantha! It's been a pleasure working with you!

@oscarsproject.bsky.social making open science possible in Europe. Now also for genetic kidney disease

1/ 🚨 Big news from our Genes&Kidney Working Group at the European Renal Association (ERA)! We just released a consensus statement in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation aiming to bring us closer to precision medicine in CKD. 🧬🩺 🧵 THREAD 👇

Chronic Kidney Disease of unexplained cause (CKDx): a consensus statement by the Genes & Kidney Working Group of the ERA doi.org/10.1093/ndt/...

🚀 Big news for kidney research! CRC/TRR 422 ‘PodoSigN’ has been funded to explore podocyte signaling networks. Proud to see two of our CRC 1678 Group Leaders @muellerrom.bsky.social and @inahuppertz.bsky.social involved in this groundbreaking work! #KidneyResearch #PodoSigN #DFGFunding

Finding the correct diagnosis is so important in kidney disease to allow for targeted treatment and avoid harm. And it’s equally important to openly address if the cause is not known. This is: CKD of unexplained cause (CKDx)

Great News!! Looking forward to working on RNA-binding metabolic enzymes in podocyte health with @inahuppertz.bsky.social @cecad.bsky.social @mpiage.bsky.social

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Together with the key guidance and education provided by the ERA Working Group Genes&Kidney as well as ESPN these efforts help making genetic kidney disease a central topic in Europe and beyond. And will pave the way towards better patient care....

This is very encouraging. Proving that sglt2i has an actual impact on ADPKD progression and in earlier disease will be key now. #stoppkd #dapapkd
