New data from the Deltas lab on targeting ER stress in Alport Syndrome. Chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyrate treatment alleviates the kidney phenotype in a mouse model of Alport syndrome with a pathogenic variant in Col4a3.

Thanks @ManuelMime for inviting me to visit your shiny new lab in IBEC in Barcelona. great to catch up and have decent amount of time to discuss ongoing and potential projects. Time to think/discuss science is so precious and fragmented in day to day activities. this was great.

Interesting new paper on muscular dystrophy due to Col6 mutation indicates role for altered basal TGFB and failure to upregulate TGFB post injury. "Collagen type VI regulates TGF-Ī² bioavailability in skeletal muscle in mice".

was a real pleasure to work with the late Neil Bulleid on this. Passed away much too soon. Such a loss as a friend, colleague and scientist. Thanks Neil for everything.

Data suggest allele specific effects on ER stress and PBA efficacy influenced by dosage and duration. Great team effort led by Ramla Omar, @ThomsonC_ and others.Fun collaboration with Alison Michie (@UofGCancerSci) Uwe Hansen @FransiskaMalfa1 .@UofGMVLS @UofGSCMH @UofGSMB.

Delighted our first adventure into #collagen III mutations in #vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is out. In patient cells, ER stress is part of mechanism; targeting via clinically approved chemical chaperones rescued intracellular - and #matrix defects.

absolutely- both US and Russia intent on destroying a European country. so hard to accept. feels like we have all travelled back in history to the "dark" middle ages. except now elected leaders act like the Sun king.
With this monstrous act Trump has made the United States a military ally of Vladimir Putin's Russia in its brutal and murderous war of aggression against Ukraine. One of the darkest, most shameful days in American history. Both FDR and Reagan spinning in their graves.
