Delighted to share my work at the @renaltoolbox International Conference, today deepening into our understanding of MSC Therapies for renal diseases🙌🏻

[RenalToolBox @renaltoolbox]

We follow up with Ms. Sandra Calcat @CalcatSandra (working at NUIG with the @Reg_Med_NUIG team) telling us all about the properties from MSCs obtained from different tissue sources.

Are extracellular vesicles from MSCs all the same, whether they come from bone marrow, adipose or umbilical cord tissue? Renata (@RSkovronova), an ESR working at the University of Turin with @BBussolati, looks at this question in her latest publication: https://t.co/2Wmht56DOT

[RenalToolBox @renaltoolbox]

We are now hearing from Ms. Sandra Calcat @CalcatSandra who has developed an impressive panel of characterisation assays to compare the properties of the different MSCs being used in our ITN. Now testing their effect in in vitro models of renal disease.

Congratulations to Katerina Apelt, working at @LUMC_Leiden, for her contribution to the paper "Endothelial Zeb2 preserves the hepatic angioarchitecture and protects against liver fibrosis", where she applied Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging to image the liver.
