Human kidney glomerulus proteome and biomarker discovery of kidney diseases
PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, 2008AbstractThe kidney glomerulus is the site of plasma filtration and production of primary urine in the kidney. The structure not only plays a pivotal role in ultrafiltration of plasma into urine but also is the locus of kidney diseases progressing to chronic renal failure.

Cell biology of kidney glomerulus.
International Review of Cytology, 1996It has been accepted that some artifacts are inevitably produced by the conventional preparation steps for electron microscopy, including fixation, dehydration, embedding, ultrathin sectioning, and staining. Therefore, conventional ultrastructural findings on kidney glomeruli are hardly thought to be correlated with the physiological functions of ...

Recognition of Kidney Glomerulus by Dynamic Programming Matching Method
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 1988Dynamic programming was applied to locate the glomeruli in microscopic images of kidney tissue section. The glomeruli were modeled by a polygon whose sides could be varied within a given range of lengths. The objects were located by determining the best match of the model according to a so-called optimum criterion in which all possible shapes were ...

Isogenic Kidney Glomerulus Chip Engineered from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2022Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 15% of the U.S. adult population, but the establishment of targeted therapies has been limited by the lack of functional models that can accurately predict human biological responses and nephrotoxicity.

Kidney Glomerulus Observation in Interactive VR Space
International Journal of Image and Graphics, 2003This paper presents the system designed to observe kidney glomeruli interactively with conventional CCD cameras and immersive virtual reality (VR) space. First, we captured the X-ray transmitted images and converted them to computer tomogram (CT). Second, the three-dimensional (3D) image was reconstructed using various image processing, binarization ...

Expression of a thyroglobulin (Tg) variant in mouse kidney glomerulus
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009Thyroglobulin (Tg) is an essential substrate for thyroid hormone biosynthesis whose production is primarily limited to the thyroid follicular cell. We have previously identified an approximately 1.2 kb fragment of Tg mRNA in cultured mouse mesangial cells, and in the present study provide evidence showing that this transcript is transcribed and ...

Angiotensin II and the glomerulus: Focus on diabetic kidney disease
Current Hypertension Reports, 2003The renin-angiotensin system plays a key role in the progression of kidney disease, in addition to its well-described role in the maintenance of extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure. Recent studies have shown that blockade of the renin-angiotensin system at the level of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor can have important effects on ...
