My JASN letter challenges a study claiming that simpler nCounter normalization methods outperform complex ones in kidney transplant diagnostics.

The authors’ reply largely reframes the study as a comparison of whole analytical pipelines, rather than normalization itself.

Anesthesiologist Rotem Naftalovich and his team received a 2025 Ig Nobel Prize for investigating Teflon as a potential non-toxic food substitute to aid weight loss. We don't know if we'd eat Teflon, but we appreciate Naftalovich's sentiment about science.🧡

Molecular diagnosis of kidney allograft rejection based on the Banff Human Organ Transplant (B-HOT) gene panel: a multicenter international study
Transcriptomic analysis of kidney biopsies has demonstrated potential to improve diagnosis of allograft rejection. Here, we developed a molecular assessment of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and T-...
