The glomeruli are tiny tubules that filter blood in the kidneys. Muscles produce a waste product called creatinine, which is removed from blood plasma by the kidneys during this glomerular filtration ...

The actin cytoskeleton of podocytes reflects their physiological functions and underlies their unique morphology, which can adjust in response to environmental changes to maintain filtration barrier ...

Glomeruli are at the heart of renal function, and yet are only part of an intact nephron. They are of irreplaceable value in maintaining homeostasis. The intact nephron theory: Each nephron is a ...
