The paper identifies three epithelial cyst types in ADPKD using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and machine learning, showing their association with therapeutic response.

The paper integrates kidney and urine proteomics with peptidomics and machine learning to identify encrypted antimicrobial peptides as functional effectors in human pyelonephritis.

This study identifies Ilf2 as a key regulator of kidney epithelial stress resilience through transcriptional and splicing programs in cultured cells and mouse models.

This study identifies Treg-mediated lymphotoxin signaling that promotes tumor growth and metastasis by activating nonclassical NFκB pathways in tumor and endothelial cells, and shows that targeting this pathway can suppress tumor progression.
