Within the kidney, the glomerulus is the structure in charge of the renal ultrafiltration. Loss of glomerular function leads to renal damage and could end with irreversible damage. The major ...

Gene therapy delivering protective vascular endothelial growth factor C into kidney filters reduced early diabetic kidney ...

Breakthrough in the development of an in vitro model of glomerulus helps understand mechanisms of injury in kidney disease, how to prevent kidney damage in individual patients, and monitor disease ...

Kidney problems have become quite common these days. Some people wonder if foamy urine is a sign of kidney damage. Let's find ...

Glomerulosclerosis refers to the scarring of the glomeruli in the kidneys following any type of insult. The glomeruli are the tiny loops of capillaries that rest on the special basement membrane which ...

Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow, GOFARR Laboratory for Organ Regenerative Research and Cell Therapeutics in Urology, Children's Hospital Los Angeles The glomerular filtration barrier, generated ...

The kidney – made up of about a million tiny units that work to filter blood, constantly rids the body of undesired waste products to form urine while holding back blood cells and valuable proteins, ...

At the first stage of olfactory processing in the brain, synchronous firing across glomeruli may help to temporally bind multiple and spatially distributed input streams activated by a given odor.

The nearly 2,000 glomeruli that cover the surface of the olfactory bulb are so distinctive that they were noted specifically in the earliest of Cajal's catalogues. They have variously been considered ...
