Abstract Proteinuric kidney disease substantially affects renal tubules through incompletely understood mechanisms. We identify elongation of primary cilia in distal renal tubules in the context of glomerular nephropathy. In renal biopsies and mouse models, tubular injury correlates with ciliary elongation, tubule dilation, and disruption of the cortical actin cytoskeleton.
Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a heterogenous neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor neurons and voluntary muscle control1. ALS heterogeneity includes the age of manifestation, the rate of progression and the anatomical sites of symptom onset. Disease-causing mutations in specific genes have been identified and define different subtypes of ALS1.
Abstract Immune-mediated nephritis is a leading cause of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. While the role of B cells and antibodies has been extensively investigated in the past, the advent of immune-checkpoint inhibitors has led to a reappraisal of the role of T cells in renal immunology. However, it remains elusive how T cells with specificity for renal autoantigens are activated and participate in immune-mediated nephritis.
