New paper alert! 🚨 Not what we expected. In @emboreports.org, we show eosinophils & STAT6 have a negligible role in muscle regeneration & DMD—contrary to prior research. Negative data matters. It moves science forward. 💡🔬 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Ren-Nu, Renal Nutrition for Polycystic Kidney Disease@ren-nu.org · 2y ago

Exciting times ahead for the PKD community! We're transforming renal nutrition with the soon-to-be relaunched Ren-Nu program. Catch this brief discussion with @weimbs.bsky.social and me to see what’s in store!

The Ren-Nu renal nutrition program for individuals with POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE will soon be re-launched. Brief discussion and preview with @melinamessing.bsky.social and @weimbs.bsky.social youtu.be/XmCR05SGdgo

🤯 This can't be real...

Wild commercial. The message: keep eating all the things that gave you diabetes and just take this pill. Surely, you won’t mind suddenly worsened kidney function, or a little life-threatening infection around the anus and genitals, right? youtu.be/1tigKn7iqwg

Everything you were told about potassium and kidneys may be wrong. Take a look at this guest blog post by nephrologist Dr. Majd Isreb from the Integrative Kidney Institute commenting on a new study. santabarbaranutrients.com/blogs/kidney...

Thinking of using a GLP1 drug? OMG, this large study just came out showing... --> 98% increased risk of any psychiatric disorders. --> 195% higher risk of major depression, a 108% increased risk for anxiety, and a 106% elevated risk for suicidal behavior. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When @weimbs.bsky.social discovered that nutrition and lifestyle could alter the course of PKD, it transformed my family's life—and my own. Today, I’m excited to share my first contribution as both a PKD scientist and patient, with the hope of helping others navigate this journey as well. ❤️👇

Is ADPKD really just driven by the gene mutation? We think not. We think that the gene mutation loads the gun and diet & lifestyle pulls the trigger. That means that nutrition & lifestyle interventions can be disease-modifying. Our recent paper here: labs.mcdb.ucsb.edu/weimbs/thoma...
