Il 4 settembre, Giornata Mondiale di Sensibilizzazione sul Rene Policistico, vogliamo accendere l’attenzione su una malattia spesso invisibile, promuovere una maggiore conoscenza e ricordare quanto siano importanti la ricerca, la diagnosi e il supporto a chi la vive ogni giorno.
Our latest study, just published in @TheLancet, reports the first successful transition from porcine kidney #xenotransplantation to human kidney transplantation.
A genetically engineered pig kidney provided >9 months (271 days) of dialysis-free kidney function before successful human transplantation, supporting xenotransplantation as a potential bridge while preserving future transplant options.
Beyond the clinical milestone, the study provides new insights into late microvascular inflammation and innate immune activation that will help shape future immunosuppressive strategies and donor genetic engineering.

Finally. We figured out the dense deposits in dense deposit disease (DDD).
The answer is Apolipoprotein E.
You can stain for APOE & make the diagnosis of DDD in >80% cases. Without electron 🔬.
DDD was the reason I got into mass spectrometry 17 yrs ago. https://t.co/fQxitNbFYF
