Glomerular Filtration and Albuminuria Chronic kidney diseases generally arise from a
disordered kidney filtration barrier within glomeruli. This review describes the roles of …

Glomerular podocytes are highly specialized cells with a complex cytoarchitecture. Their
most prominent features are interdigitated foot processes with filtration slits in between …

Le syndrome néphrotique à lésions glomérulaires minimes (LGM) et la hyalinose
segmentaire et focale (HSF) primitive sont deux pathologies glomérulaires qui entrainent un …

Mammalian kidneys constantly filter large amounts of liquid, with almost complete retention
of albumin and other macromolecules in the plasma. Breakdown of the three-layered renal …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of numerous macromolecules classified traditionally
into collagens, elastin, and microfibrillar proteins, proteoglycans including hyaluronan, and …

The terminally differentiated podocyte, also called glomerular visceral epithelial cell, are
highly specialized cells. They function as a critical size and charge barrier to prevent …

Diabetic kidney disease, commonly termed diabetic nephropathy (DN), is the most common
cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. The characteristic histopathology of …

The visceral glomerular epithelial cell, also called podocyte, is a terminally differentiated cell
that lines the outer aspect of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). It therefore forms …

The architectural design of our kidneys is amazingly complex, and culminates in the 3D
structure of the glomerular filter. During filtration, plasma passes through a sieve consisting …
