Some of the conditions that can damage your glomeruli include: Minimal change disease. Minimal change disease is the main cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Kidney tissue from people with ...

PAX8 and NEPHRIN co-expressing cells were detected within the glomerulus of a nephrotic rat during LS-FMD. In patients with chronic kidney disease, the loss of podocytes—part of the kidney’s ...

they can damage the glomeruli, triggering what is known as glomerulonephritis—a pattern of damage that in the worst case can lead to kidney failure. Weber's team of researchers discovered this ...

uncovered the association of fine airborne particulate matter with diseases of the glomerulus, a cluster of capillaries near the nephron in the kidney. That led to a 2018 paper in Nature Reviews ...

As an extension to the assay above we can now ‌measure relative albumin permeability across a single capillary loop of an isolated glomerulus. This is a fluorescence assay which involves pre-perfusing ...

Immunofluorescence image of the proximal tubule (in green), surrounding the glomeruli in the kidney with the activated ...
