Abstract excerpt
The physiological functions of the zebrafish pronephros are blood plasma filtration and osmoregulation. The pronephric glomerulus is vascularized through a capillary network sprouting from the dorsal aorta. Vascularization of the glomerulus, visualized by flk-1 expression and alkaline phosphatase reactivity, involves the intimate association between podocytes and endothelial cells and the formation of an...
