Abstract excerpt
Reminiscent of neural repair, following podocyte depletion, remnant-surviving podocytes exhibit a considerable adaptive capacity to expand and cover the denuded renal glomerular basement membrane. Microtubules, one of the principal cytoskeletal components of podocyte major processes, play a crucial role in podocyte morphogenesis and podocyte process outgrowth, branching, and elongation. Here, we demonstrated that...
