1/ 🧬 CRISPR and gene editing for kidney diseases: Where do we stand in 2025?
A review on how CRISPR and other gene editing tools are redefining what’s possible in nephrology — from fixing mutations to regenerating kidney tissue.

Our study on cardiac complications in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) on @ERAkidney @CKJsocial reveals key insights:
🔍 PKD1 mutations independently increase the risk of left ventricular hypertrophy, beyond hypertension and other factors;
❤️ Aortic regurgitation is linked to greater disease severity;
🧬 Mitral valve prolapse is associated with truncating PKD1 mutations highlighting genotype-specific risks.
These findings have important implications for personalized cardiovascular monitoring and management in ADPKD patients. Genotype matters! 💡

Where does aldosterone actually do its work? In the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN): DCT2, CNT, and the collecting duct.
The control room for Na⁺ balance and K⁺ homeostasis. (Follow the thread 🧵)

🧵1. Aldosterone isn’t just “salt & water.” In modern sodium-rich contexts it drives inflammation, fibrosis, and residual cardiorenal risk. We map physiology → disease → therapies, and argue for reprogramming the signal. Follow the thread ---> doi.org/10.3390/ijms26188829

Cystinosis usually needs early and strict cysteamine treatment.
Yet this case had a good outcome despite late and unconventional therapy 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.nefro.2025…
