Our human cells in particular are widely recognised as the gold standard model of these cells for in vitro studies. Glomerular capillaries have unique adaptations allowing their walls to function as a ...

Glomerulus, the fundamental filtering unit of the kidney, is an intricate network of capillaries ... The selectively ...

ANG II in turn suppresses nephrin and induces TGF-β type II receptor expression in podocytes, perhaps intensifying the paracrine effects of TGF-β derived from the mesangium or glomerular ...

Through its effects on podocyte biology, glomerular hemodynamics, and capillary endothelial permeability, VEGF likely plays an important role in diabetic albuminuria. The mainstays of therapy ...

This allows us to measure the water permeability (LpA) of a single isolated glomerulus (from animals and humans) by fixing the glomerulus in place using a suction micropipette and changing the osmotic ...
