@JPetiPeterdi @AJPRenal @APSPhysiology Congratulations Janos. Looking forward to your leadership

[Janos Peti-Peterdi @JPetiPeterdi]

I am excited and honored to start serving as the Editor-in-Chief of AJP-Renal. Together with an amazing editorial team, we will work hard to further elevate this prestigious journal and to champion physiology, the science life depends on! @AJPRenal @APSPhysiology

@kko915 Cool. How did you find that out?

[Matt Sampson @MattGSampson]

Did anyone else hear really loud bang near Bethany Beach Delaware? Wondering if it was construction or maybe another meteor

[Rachel Zatcoff @RachelZatcoff]

@MattGSampson Same in sea colony—scared the shit out of me what was it???

[Hayley Biddle @hayls662]

@MattGSampson Yes, came on twitter to see. We are in sea colony

[Ari Goldman @WRLDBLDNG]

@MattGSampson We heard it super loud on Bethany rn

[Bubby D @CryptoBubD]

@MattGSampson I’m out in long neck/Millsboro and our house shook too

[BB @beaman2621]

@MattGSampson In Fenwick Island, shook the house

[thefakeMCW @thefakeMCW]

@MattGSampson Felt in sea colony thought tree fell on the roof.

[GutterSwan @Gutter_Swan]

@MattGSampson If you find out let us know. Whole house shook in Fenwick Island

Very happy with how this video came out describing the Dongwon Lee and my partnership & how our labs intertwine to drive forward #kidneyomics research. Thanks to Julia Bueno, our Community Outreach Coordinator who created it @thesampsonlab https://t.co/viDgWEU2Mg

[Sampson Lab for Kidney Genomics @TheSampsonLab]

🎉 Last week, we gathered as a lab to celebrate the milestone of Choah Kim, Eric Sakkas, and Junmo Sung as they prepare for their next chapter in medicine and research.

We can’t wait to see the impact you’ll continue to make in healthcare, science, and beyond!

At the BIGKiDs Study, research is about more than data. It is about helping build a better future for children and families affected by kidney disease.

Collaboration, curiosity, and a shared commitment to advancing kidney genomics research. 🧬

Moments from our recent lab meeting at the Sampson Lab for Kidney Genomics, as we continue working toward a better understanding of nephrotic syndrome.

🚨Prime editing breakthrough (April 29, 2026)

Researchers at UMass Chan Medical School have developed “Prime Assembly”: a method to insert large DNA fragments (up to 11 kb) with high precision and without double-strand breaks in the genome.

They use two pegRNAs plus linear donor templates that assemble inside the cell. It works in quiescent cells and has already been demonstrated by inserting full genes such as dystrophin and CARs.

Prime Assembly (PA) perfectly complements their platform and PASSIGE technology for large insertions, opening the door to more indications (DMD, allogeneic CAR-T, etc.) with lower risk.

Another step that reinforces why prime editing remains the most versatile gene-editing technology.
