Congrats to @BernhardDumoul1, @KSusztak, and the rest of the Susztak lab for the amazing work in @Nature! We are happy to be involved, and excited to see what comes next! @PennMedicine @MarcoRuella
🗞️📸🌟🤩Beautiful work led by @BernhardDumoul1 with the team builds a single cell spatial atlas of human DKD using Xenium + CosMx + snRNA-seq. @Nature This is not incremental. This is a new layer of pathology. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is still treated as one disease. That is the problem. Patients look similar clinically but behave very differently. We asked: is there a biologically distinct subgroup we are missing? rdcu.be/ff6ZZ

CD2 is a viable target for CAR T-cell immunotherapy for T-cell malignancies, but CD2 deletion in CAR T cells can lead to dysfunction. Read in Blood: ow.ly/j41050YKAiI
