Abstract excerpt
Podocytes outgrown from isolated glomeruli in vitro have failed to express fully differentiated in vivo phenotypes. In an attempt to determine whether podocytes in metanephric culture accomplish terminal differentiation, as observed in vivo, we investigated expression of their characteristic phenotypic features in rat metanephric organ cultures using immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Rat metanephroi...
