@abdelhamed012 @asnpublications @ogutierrez136 Not in CKD or in response to a high-phosphate diet. But LPS injections induce hepatic FGF23 expression in mice. So yes, the liver can be a source of FGF23. It all depends on the context.

[ASN Publications @asnpublications]

In this #ASNJASN study, authors determine if skeletal muscle produces FGF23 in response to phosphate elevations. #BasicResearch https://t.co/Rb0667z2l6

And also journey #2 just came to a conclusion. This time from CKD to nephrotic syndrome, from phosphate to lipids. Let’s see what 2026 can add to these unexpected findings.

What an interesting journey it has been - from the kidney to skeletal muscle and back. A great ending for 2025 and an even better kickstart for 2026. Thanks to our fantastic team!

It took a while, but 15,000 words and 500 references later we present the discussion of a field that needs attention, from basic and clinical science, with many gaps but also great potential for novel drug development. Thanks @HeitmanKylie and @Matt_Muscle_Guy for great teamwork.

@JASN_News Thanks to JASN, for reporting on our approach to produce klotho to tackle CKD/CVD

[JASN_News @JASN_News]

As CKD resembles accelerated aging, patients with CKD may benefit from klotho-focused aging research. This article discusses a novel klotho variant, a procedure to synthesize and purify the protein, and and assay to test its bioactivity https://t.co/j3fG5wFNpm
