Das Nephrologische Forschungslabor Nephrolab Cologne ist Teil der Klinik II für Innere Medizin der Uniklinik Köln. Das Labor untersucht die molekularen Grundlagen von Nierenerkrankungen mit einem Fokus auf zystischen Nierenerkrankungen und Erkrankungen des Nierenfilters.

Hier geht es zur Internetseite von REN, dem Förderverein für exzellente Nierenforschung. Basierend auf der genauen Kenntnis der Pathogenese von Nierenerkrankungen die Entwicklung neuartiger individueller Therapie- und Präventionsstrategien ermöglichen: Das ist das Ziel von REN. Dabei hilft REN vor allem dort, wo öffentliche Gelder nicht ausreichen oder fehlen ...

Das FOrMe-Register dient der weiteren Erforschung des nephrotischen Syndroms. Dabei handelt es sich um einer Erkrankung, bei der aufgrund einer Schädigung des Nierenfilters zu viel Eiweiß über den Urin verloren geht und es in der Folge zu deutlichen Wassereinlagerungen im Körper kommt. Die Ursachen des nephrotischen Syndroms sind vielfältig, in einem relevanten Anteil der Fälle liegt dem nephrotischen Syndrom die sogenannte Erkrankung mit glomerulären Minimalläsionen (engl. Minimal-Change-Disease, MCD) oder eine fokale und segmentale Glomerulosklerose (FSGS) zugrunde. ...

Mittlerweile in der zweiten Förderungsperiode untersucht die Klinische Forschergruppe KFO329 die Entstehung von Podozytenerkrankungen und zielt darauf, neue, äußerst präzise Therapien zu entwickeln ...

In diesem systembiologischen Forschungsverbund werden die Alterungsprozesse von Organismen, Geweben, Organen und Zellen untersucht, um so Therapien gegen altersassoziierte Erkrankungen zu ermöglichen.

Thrilling times!
Following the exhilarating pre-kickoff rendezvous with #Theracil in Paris, today marked the electrifying pre-kickoff of Workpackage 2 in Cologne
Our marathon discussions have truly borne fruit, propelling us forward with absolute clarity!
A huge thanks to everyone who journeyed to Cologne or powered up zoom to join us!
Ready, set, let the journey commence!!! 🚀🎉

📣 📣 Happy to share our 1st paper on cilia & cell death
👉 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41420-022-01272-2
Excellent work, primarily by Emilia, who has killed billions of cultured cells along the way 😉
1000x🙏 to Emilia and the team🥳 🎉!
Right now, we study this in preclinical models to check for translational potential. So more in vivo data will follow soon!

Herzlich Willkommen,. PKD e.V. !
Toll, dass Sie jetzt auch auf Mastodon sind! 🙂
Es ist unsere große Sorge, dass mit Twitter ein wichtiger Link zwischen Patient:innen und Wissenschaftler:innen wegbrechen könnte und die Alternative nur langsam in Gang kommt. Daher ist es super, dass PKD e.V. hier an Bord ist! 🙂

📢 Cilia2022 - Interconnect 🙂
We are thrilled to announce that, in line with the EMBO workshop EMBO Cilia2022", the network event “Cilia2022 Interconnect” will take place - thanks to the generous support of the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD)🙏!
With Cilia2022-Interconnect, we aim to expand the #cilia & #ciliopathy community to countries typically underrepresented in patients‘, clinical and research networks.
Cilia2022-Interconnect includes >20 stipends for ciliopathy patients, clinicians, and scientists to attend both Cilia2022-Interconnect & EMBO Cilia2022 in Cologne (Oct 4-7, 2022).
Please share this with ciliopathy patient organizations, clinicians, and researchers in the following countries:
Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Turkey.

PUBLICATION - one of our latest projects within the research unit deals with the problem of structural variant detection in complex loci like the CFH gene cluster.
We present a comprehensive and complementary approach that can be useful to identify SVs causing aHUS and related disorders.
Many thanks to Nikolai Tschernoster, Janine Altmüller and the entire team.

News from the CRU329:
Disease pathways in podocyte injury - from molecular mechanisms to individualized treatment options" at the University Hospital Cologne.
After three successful years, the CRU329 has been approved for renewed funding by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation - and is soon entering the next funding period.
Spearheaded by Thomas Benzing and Paul Brinkkötter, members of the research group are working towards deciphering the mechanisms of podocyte disease and developing individualized treatment approaches.
More information can be found at https://www.podocyte.org/, soon to be updated with detailed info on new projects.

Exciting news: the AD(H)PKD study has reached an important milestone - more than 1,000 participants! AD(H)PKD aims to characterize polycystic kidney disease and its course after approval of the first targeted therapy in 2015. We would like to thank all centers, colleagues at Universität zu Köln Uniklinik Köln CECAD Cologne, and especially the participating #ADPKD patients for their invaluable contribution. First insights into the results expected in 2022.
