I am beyond thrilled to see this resolution on kidney health adopted by the WHO. What an achievement!
We were privileged to attend WHA78 in Geneva this week and encouraged to hear many member states call for the need to work towards better awareness, prevention, monitoring and treatment of kidney disease, culminating in the approval of the first-ever WHA resolution on kidney health!

Integrins in the kidney, beyond the matrix! These receptors mediate interactions with ECM, crucial for kidney function, by forming large adhesion complexes. #KidneyScience PMID:39643697, Nat Rev Nephrol 2025, @NatRevNeph @nkf @ASNKidney https://doi.org/10.1038/s41581-024-00906-1 #Medsky #Pharmsky 🧪
Integrins in the kidney — beyond the matrix | Nature Reviews Nephrology
The development and proper functioning of the kidney is dependent on the interaction of kidney cells with the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). These interactions are mediated by heterodimeric membrane-bound receptors called integrins, which bind to the ECM via their extracellular domain and via their cytoplasmic tail to intracellular adaptor proteins, to assemble large macromolecular adhesion complexes. These interactions enable integrins to control cellular functions such as intracellular signalling and organization of the actin cytoskeleton and are therefore crucial to organ function. The different nephron segments and the collecting duct system have unique morphologies, functions and ECM environments and are thus equipped with unique sets of integrins with distinct specificities for the ECM with which they interact. These cell-type-specific functions are facilitated by specific intracellular integrin binding proteins, which are critical in determining the integrin activation
