    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cell Biology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Mesangial cells (MC) and the mesangial matrix are key components of the kidney glomerulus.
    • Understanding their structure and function is vital for comprehending kidney physiology and disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current data on the structure and functions of kidney mesangial cells (MC) and mesangial matrix.
    • To discuss the role of MC in glomerular filtration, blood flow regulation, and potential functions like renin production.
    • To describe common MC lesions and their significance in glomerular pathology.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing data.
    • Analysis of studies on MC and mesangial matrix in normal, experimental, and pathological conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Mesangial cells (MC) play a critical role in purifying the glomerular filter.
    • MC are involved in regulating glomerular blood flow and may produce renin.
    • Frequent lesions of MC are important factors in the development of kidney glomerular diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • Mesangial cells (MC) are central to kidney health, performing vital filtration and regulatory functions.
    • Damage to MC is strongly linked to the pathogenesis of glomerular pathologies.
    • Further understanding of MC nature and function is essential for advancing nephrology and treating kidney diseases.
