Zoning in on podocytes

Kidney International, 2022
Podocytes undergo defined morphologic changes during development, homeostasis, and aging, and on injury. Quantitative podometric assessments of podocyte endowment provide a powerful tool to interrogate glomerular health. Expanding this approach to a regional assessment demonstrates that the podocytes from cortical, subcortical, and juxtamedullary ...

Podocyte progenitors and ectopic podocytes

Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2013
Two types of parietal podocyte were previously described in the Bowman capsule: one characterized by coexpression of podocyte and parietal epithelial cell markers, the other characterized by expression of podocyte markers only. New research demonstrates that these populations represent podocyte progenitors and ectopic podocytes—distinct cell types with

Roles of the podocyte in glomerular function

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology - Renal Physiology, 2000
The podocyte is the most differentiated cell type in the glomerulum, which forms a crucial component of the glomerular filtration barrier. It has been assumed that podocyte foot processes counteract the elastic force of the glomerular basement membrane ...

The immune podocyte

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2019
Purpose of review Lupus nephritis (LN) is a serious manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus and is characterized by proteinuria and renal failure. Proteinuria is a marker of poor prognosis and is attributed to podocyte loss and dysfunction. It is often debated whether these cells are innocent bystanders or
