I recently developed a FIJI macro 💻 to support our internal need and decided to share it with the wider community, especially those working regularly with microscopy data. The macro is freely available on my GitHub and can be downloaded via Zenodo (link in the comments!)

I first presented the data in this paper at the Philly Podocyte meeting in May 2023 (thanks @ksusztak.bsky.social
& Larry Holzman), and a few days ago the paper appeared in
@kidneyint.bsky.social . Promising results for new ways to treat Alport syndrome. kidney-international.org/article/S008...
Mouse Alport podocytes are susceptible to AAV9 transduction in vivo
Alport syndrome features a defective glomerular basement membrane (GBM) due to variants in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. The most severe forms, which lack the GBM’s collagen α3α4α5(IV) network, progress...

Excited to be in Basal for BaCell3D!!

Enjoyed discussing with brilliant people working on disease modeling using organoids.

🚨 Our new preprint is out!
We developed kidney organoid models of X-linked Alport syndrome carrying deep-intronic variants. Through in-depth characterization, we demonstrate their potential as a robust platform for individualized splice-switching therapy development. #Alport #ASO

🚨Check out our latest paper in AJKD! We highlighted the importance of unbiased and large-scale genetic testing in ADTKD-MUC1.

Using VNtyper, we identified de novo cases and ADTKD was not initially suspected in ~40% of positive cases in our cohort.
