This week, we will discuss the Deep Mind collaboration with the NHS and VA AKI researchers to predict AKI before it occurs. Is real AI actually here? Does the hype deliver what it promises? Lets take a deep dive into the deep mind predictions.
Can We Stop MUC-1 From Mucking Up the Kidney
Some cases of ADTKD are due to mutations of the MUC-1 gene, one mutation is a frame shift mutation that results in a premature stop codon. which results in accumulation of the abnormally short, and toxic protein MUC-1 fs . The researchers found a small protein, BRD4780, that reroute MUC-1fs to lysosomes, preventing proteinopathy and possibly altering the natural history of the disease.
