Glomerulus, the fundamental filtering unit of the kidney, is an intricate network of capillaries ... The selectively ...

Our human cells in particular are widely recognised as the gold standard model of these cells for in vitro studies. Glomerular capillaries have unique adaptations allowing their walls to function as a ...

Using confocal microscopy we can measure the decline in fluorescent intensity in a capillary loop over time and from this and other parameters infer relative solute albumin permeability (P salb). Fig ...
