This study examines how four immunosuppressants alter the gut microbiome and immune responses over time, revealing drug-specific and tissue-dependent effects on microbial composition and lymphoid architecture.

This study identifies regenerative and fibrotic cell programs in human kidney transplants that determine outcomes of acute kidney injury.

This study uses snRNA-seq to analyze kidney transplant biopsies and identifies molecular and cellular mechanisms of recurrent FSGS, including podocyte loss and PEC dedifferentiation.

This study investigates how rapamycin modulates lymph node architecture, leukocyte trafficking, and gut microbiome over time, revealing a novel mechanism of immunosuppression.

This study identifies the Shroom3 ASD2-domain as critical for profibrotic function in CKD through ROCK activation, showing motif-specific roles in renal fibrosis and albuminuria.

The paper identifies 54 differentially expressed genes in pediatric septic shock patients and links them to immune response and chemokine pathways, distinguishing survivors from non-survivors.
