Just out in Nature Communications…..a mystery solved. It’s all about lipids in the regulation of intracellular NHEs. Thank you David for this great collaboration.

Congratulations, very nice work. As someone who did his PhD on Na/H transport, I really appreciate further developments in understanding such a fundamental mechanism in cells.

It’s rare to find someone who shapes 90% of what you understand about a subject. For me, that was Prof. Antonio Carlos Cassola. Most of what I know about electrophysiology, I owe to him. He passed away yesterday as one of the best lecturers I had the privilege to learn from. Thank you, Cassola!

Big databases and biobanks for studying the links between CKD, cognitive impairment, and dementia ABSTRACT. Research on cognitive function in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is critical due to the significant public health challenge posed

New supplement of the COST Action CONNECT is out in @ndt-era.bsky.social! Highlighting the new paper by Carmine Zoccali et al. where we explore how large biobank data, such as the ADNI, UK Biobank, and others, can help elucidate how CKD and cognitive decline progression interact: bit.ly/4kKmB14

Acid excretion is impaired in calcium oxalate stone formers Pedro H Imenez Silva, Nasser A Dhayat, Daniel G Fuster, Harald Seeger, Alexander Ritter, Thomas Ernandez, Florian Buchkremer, Beat Roth, Olivier Bonny, Isa

Happy to share that our research letter has been accepted in @ndt-era.bsky.social. Here we showed that impaired renal acid excretion is strongly associated with CaOx stone presence in the Swiss Kidney Stone Cohort: bit.ly/41rKodu. Many thanks to all co-authors in Switzerland for their support.
