Antinephrin Autoantibody Podocytopathy from @Tobias_B_Huber
#RKDSummit #Nephpearls

📌 Antinephrin Autoantibodies are associated with disease
☑️ 69% in active minimal change disease (MCD) pre-treatment
☑️ 90% in active idiopathic nephrotic syndrome pre-treatment

📌 Antinephrin Autoantibodies correlate with disease activity

📌 Antinephrin Autoantibody Titers can be used for therapy guidance

Biggest medical discoveries of the week (🧵)

1/10

Spinal cord injury triggers activation of T cells, inflammation, and death of neurons

Editing the T cell receptor, using mRNA, suppressed this, and helped recovery from the injury (in mice!)

It took more than a DECADE... but finally it’s published!!! It started as a CRAZY idea but after tons of hard work we built it: We hijacked the endogenous secretion systems of Toxoplasma gondii, a brain parasite, to deliver active proteins to neurons 👇
