It’s finally out! Many thanks to my colleagues @jacksongcheng and my mentor Andy McMahon at USC for making this happen. #organoid #kidney #screen
In a @CellStemCell study, scientists from the @USCStemCell lab of Andy McMahon generated kidney-like structures called organoids, and used them to identify potential drugs for adult-onset polycystic kidney disease. @TTdevbio @jacksongcheng @KECKSchool_USC stemcell.keck.usc.edu/mini-k…

Excited to share our latest work on adaptive and maladaptive repair after AKI using lineage tracing and single-nucleus multiomics with @AndyMcMahonLab and @HumphreysLab . Thank you so much for your help and support during the project! It was great! journals.lww.com/jasn/Fullte…

Out now! Instead of spreading across the X chromosome to inactivate it, Xist nucleates dynamic protein complexes, allowing protein expansion across the X to induce higher-order chromatin changes and gene silencing #sciencetwitter #xist @PlathLab @UCLA bit.ly/3oGHoHK

Excited to share our latest publication out @CellCellPress where we explore how Xist nucleates local protein gradients to propagate gene silencing during X chromosome inactivation. 1/15 dlvr.it/SBxrs9 🧫🧬🔬🧵

Thanks to everyone involved, this was a fun project! Glad we can keep building a view of how nephrons form and contribute to all the beautiful work (past and present) that has been done by the developmental nephrology community!
A @Dev_Cell study traces the blueprints for how human #kidneys form their filtering units. The @USCStemCell study from Andy McMahon’s lab was led by Nils Lindström, with collaborators from @Princeton and @EdinburghUni. @LindstromLab @KECKSchool_USC stemcell.keck.usc.edu/nephro…

The @USCStemCell lab of Andy McMahon has identified a type of injured cell that might contribute to the transition from an acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease, as described in a new study in PNAS. @PNASnews @KeckSchool_USC stemcell.keck.usc.edu/acute-…

Comparable with graduate students' productivity but definitely more Zen!

Exciting week for CUT&Tag users! CUT&Tag for bench-top is now published @NatureProtocols. nature.com/articles/s41596-0… And, two BioRxiv preprints using scCUT&Tag on the @10xGenomics platform demonstrate the broad applicability of targeted chromatin profiling for single-cells. (1/6)

Do US citizens understand how stressful it is to be an immigrant scientist in the US? Far from family/friends, never ending visa bureaucracy & payments, constant fear of not being allowed back in the US, or being forced to leave your home/job/PhD due to some ban
