Abstract excerpt
Both endothelial cells and podocytes are sources for laminin alpha1 at the inception of glomerulogenesis and then for laminin alpha5 during glomerular maturation. Why glomerular basement membranes (GBM) undergo laminin transitions is unknown, but this may dictate glomerular morphogenesis. In mice...
