Abstract excerpt
The origin of cobblestone-like polygonal cells (the most numerous in renal glomerular cell culture) remains controversial; they could be either dedifferentiated podocytes or parietal epithelial cells (PECs) of Bowman's capsule. Poor cellular outgrowth from glomeruli devoid of Bowman's capsule (decapsulated glomeruli) hinders podocytes being obtained without contamination of PECs in culture. Since podocytes are...
