Mechanical forces at the kidney filtration barrier govern spatial orientation of podocyte processes on capillaries
2023-02-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mammalian kidneys filter enormous volumes of water and small solutes, a filtration driven by the very high hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillaries. Interdigitating cellular processes of podocytes form the slits for fluid filtration. They are connected by the membrane-like slit diaphragm cell junction containing a mechanosensitive ion channel complex and allow filtration while counteractin...
