The glomerular visceral epithelial cell (podocyte) is characterized as a specialized structure of the interdigitating foot processes, covering the outer side of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM).

Conditionally immortalized human glomerular endothelial cells do not respond to insulin, suggesting that insulin has a specific effect on the podocyte in the glomerular filtration barrier.

The selectively permeable capillary wall, known as the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB), consists of three main components: glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs), ...

"In particular, the glomerular filtration barrier is very difficult to recreate in a lab using standard techniques." Because of this, most published studies have used an artificial membrane ...

If everyone goes back to their days of the anatomy of glomeruli, the podocyte is an important cell for maintaining the glomerular filtration barrier. The way I think about it is, ...

The discovery of the signaling mechanism underlying podocyte formation is relevant to the treatment of a range of kidney conditions that can damage the glomerular filtration barrier, including ...

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name ...
