These doctors are trying to lower hospitals' carbon footprint : NPR npr.org/2023/10/02/120238918…

Health care has a massive carbon footprint. These doctors are trying to change that

Around the country, health care workers continue to grapple with their industry's massive carbon footprint. In Pittsburgh, doctors formed Clinicians for Climate Action to address the problem.

Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my! It's the Pittsburgh NKF Kidney walk at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. What's really scary is the fact that 37 million Americans have kidney disease and more than 90% are unaware.

Looking for evidence that biomolecular condensates are physiologically relevant? Check out our latest, out today in Cell @CellCellpress , in which we identify WNK kinases as physiological crowding sensors that regulate cell volume via phase separation 1/ cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Congrats @okashlan on this high impact publication!

Excited to share our latest work in @eLife with @NathanClark111 on the evolution of a sodium channel crucial to kidney and lung function. elifesciences.org/articles/7…

Activation by cleavage of the epithelial Na+ channel α and γ subunits independently coevolved with...

Proteolytic activation of a sodium-permeable channel that aids in gas exchange and fluid homeostasis likely evolved at the water to land transition in vertebrates.

Excited to share our latest work via @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… , in which we uncover a new role for #WNK kinases as molecular crowding sensors that undergo #phase #separation to coordinate RVI, an acute cell volume rescue response. 🧵 1/
