🚀 So proud of @danshiwarski’s achievement!
Huge congrats on engineering a game-changing cardiovascular research tool and getting featured by @PittEngineering! 🎓👏

I had a great time at the @MBLScience Marine Biological Laboratory 🧪 🐟 🐸 this week in Woods Hole, MA for the annual meeting of the Society of General Physiologists. Lots of great talks and sharing of ideas💡. Ended the meeting with an authentic Cape Cod lobster🦞 bake.

WNK bodies are biomolecular condensates in action—membraneless compartments that enable rapid, spatially organized control of NaCl transport based on dietary potassium. A new paradigm in renal signaling and homeostasis. 🧠🧪Here’s the story👇

Our @jclinicalinvest study is accompanied by a fantastic commentary highlighting how KS-WNK1 promotes WNK body formation, allowing mice and humans to adapt to changes in dietary potassium.

So exciting to see WNK bodies making the cover of JCI! @PittDeptofMed @pittkidneyctr
A nod and a wink to kidney-specific WNK1
This issue’s cover features work by Cary R. Boyd-Shiwarski et al. @caryboyd3 on kidney-specific WNK1 as a scaffolding protein that organizes WNK bodies — structures essential for maintaining blood potassium levels: jci.org/articles/view/188792

What an amazing accomplishment for @ShiwarskiLab for their manuscript getting the cover of @ScienceAdvances. Incredible work in #tissueengineering and #3Dbioprinting. @PittDeptofMed @PittBioE @PittVMI

Looking forward to presenting our work on the role of WNK body biomolecular condensates in potassium regulation. @arohan_s @PITTRenal
This is such an important number that needs to be emphasized!
At #kidneyweek2024 it is a call to provide more support to research kidney diseases #redefiningthestandard
I had a great time today at the first annual Pittsburgh GN Symposium. So many exciting advances in this field of nephrology. @pittkidneyctr @PITTRenal
Fantastic talk today on molecular crowding by @LiamHoltLab at the PittCell conference. #PittCell @pittkidneyctr @arohan_s
Next time they stop by the lab I’m putting them to work! It’s time for them to learn how to run a western blot. – at Pittsburgh, PA
Looks like #SidneyAndBean with #TheThings & #TheNorns made a surprise trip to @caryboyd3 lab today!
Hope they didn’t play with the 3D printer!
Honored to be included in this article. It was a privilege to collaborate with Josh Tashman and @ShiwarskiLab on this project. @PittMedMag @pittkidneyctr @PittDeptofMed

It’s so cool to think about the past and the future for the field. The cell is so cram packed and crowded that it’s on the verge of catastrophe…and yet it’s figured out how to harness this crowded state to support life. #crowding #condensates @PittDeptofMed @pittkidneyctr – at Pittsburgh, PA
🙏 to @AnnualReviews for the opportunity to write this review w/ @caryboyd3 on molecular #crowding for the physiologist. We cover emerging connections between crowding sensing & diverse functions, highlighting #IDRs and #condensates as key mediators.
