A short history of 'glomerulus' [PDF]

Clinical Kidney Journal, 2013
After enjoying Kettritz's and Luft's Nephroquiz [1], I enjoyed even more their reply [2] to my comment, which they ended by posing an interesting dilemma: should we use the terms ‘glomerulus/glomeruli’, masculine gender, or ‘glomerulum/glomerula’, neutral gender?

A comparative analysis of glomerulus development in the pronephros of medaka and zebrafish.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The glomerulus of the vertebrate kidney links the vasculature to the excretory system and produces the primary urine. It is a component of every single nephron in the complex mammalian metanephros and also in the primitive pronephros of fish and ...

Optical coherence tomography of the living human kidney [PDF]

Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2014
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) induced by ischemia is the most common insult to donor kidneys destined for transplantation. ATN results from swelling and subsequent damage to cells lining the kidney tubules.

Evolutionary Origin of the Proepicardium

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2013
The embryonic epicardium and the cardiac mesenchyme derived from it are critical to heart development. The embryonic epicardium arises from an extracardiac progenitor tissue called the proepicardium, a proliferation of coelomic cells located at the limit

Building the Glomerulus [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2005
The structural integrity of the glomerular capillaries stems from the stereotyped arrangement of the three constituent cell types: Podocytes (also called visceral epithelial cells), endothelial cells, and mesangial cells.

Nitric-Oxide-Mediated Signaling in Podocyte Pathophysiology

Biomolecules, 2022
Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent signaling molecule involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes in the kidney. NO plays a complex role in glomerular ultrafiltration, vasodilation, and inflammation.

Diabetic nephropathy induces alterations in the glomerular and tubule lipid profiles1[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major life-threatening complication of diabetes. Renal lesions affect glomeruli and tubules, but the pathogenesis is not completely understood.
