Robert A. Fenton @rofe6065 & team show that a diet low in potassium causes bone loss in mice, effects that are attributable to altered calcium absorption by the kidney.

The figure shows deep learning instance segmentation model to identify kidney tubules and indicates low dietary K+ intake alters the abundance of the calcium-sensing receptor.

@radiohead you system really worked well. 30 min after tickets went on sale and bo one can buy them…here they are on vivid at 10x price 🤣🤣🤬🤬

@Tobias_B_Huber @PuellesVictor @UKEHamburg @AarhusUni @Nature Congratulations @PuellesVictor and team on this powerful technique. Another example of the strong @UKEHamburg and @AarhusUni kidney research groups. The potential for stronger interactions is endless 👍

Our mini-review highlights how basic science insights are relevant for developing approaches to treat water balance disorders and how long-term cell volume adaptation may contribute to cognitive impairment, bone loss and vascular calcification.

If you are interested in a 2 year fully funded fellowship in Aarhus - check this out: https://t.co/nBcK3xlQWr
I would be happy to help you write a competitive proposal of mutual interest.

@LTubularCentre @RenalUCL I am so sorry to hear this. My condolences. He will be greatly missed.

@oasis @TicketmasterUK @Twickets well - theres nearly 2500 already for sale on stubhub :(

Check out this in @Kidney_Int. We show that NHE3 is important for Ca handling, but that the distal tubule compensates when NHE3 is inhibited by eg #sglt2 inhibitors. A team effort >9 years @RiegTimo @h_dimke @Adri_in_Aarhus @fenton_lab and others 👏🥂���

Genetic deletion of the #kidney sodium/proton exchanger-3 (#NHE3) does not alter calcium and phosphate balance due to compensatory responses

Another important study from the @HibpK team led by the @PAWellingMD lab. It’s impressive how sensitive the potassium effects on BP are….
