Abstract excerpt
Podocytes are well-differentiated postmitotic cells whose function is largely based on their complex cytoskeletal architecture. In diseases with proteinuria, podocytes undergo morphologic changes. Podocytes react to an injurious stimulus by a reorganization of their foot process architecture that is independent of the primary injury and the cause of the proteinuria. Collapsing glomerulopathies, including the...
