Cell Biology of Kidney Glomerulus
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 ...

Research into the structure of the kidney glomerulus – making it count
Micron, 2012The renal glomerulus and its components have been intensively studied using microscopy - both light and electron - for decades and much has been learnt about their role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases such as diabetic nephropathy. In order to get more than purely qualitative information from the images, stereological tools have been ...

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 ...

Ultrasmall polymeric nanocarriers for drug delivery to podocytes in kidney glomerulus [PDF]
Journal of Controlled Release, 2017 We explored the use of new drug-loaded nanocarriers and their targeted delivery to the kidney glomerulus and in particular to podocytes, in order to overcome the failure of current therapeutic regimens in patients with proteinuric (i.e.

Expression of a thyroglobulin (Tg) variant in mouse kidney glomerulus
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009 Thyroglobulin (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 ...

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 ...

Histochemistry, 1982
Ultracytochemical studies of the Aminopeptidase A (APA; angiotensinase A; E.C. 3.4.11.7) were performed on perfusion fixed rat and mouse kidneys (low concentration aldehydes) using simultaneous azo coupling with alpha-L-Glu-MNA as substrate and HPR as well as HNF as coupling agents. The studies of glomeruli and juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) show that

Purinergic Receptors in the Glomerulus and Vasculature of the Kidney
2003Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes observations in the area of purinergic control of renal microvascular and glomerular function and highlights important questions that remain to be resolved. It focuses on new developments made related to intrarenal P2 receptors; however, some attention is directed toward observations related to P1 or ...

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 ...
