Structure-stabilizing forces in the glomerular tuft

W Kriz, M Elger, P Mundel

    Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN
    |April 1, 1995
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The glomerular tuft uses the glomerular basement membrane and mesangium as a basic system to counteract high pressures. Podocytes provide an additional stabilizing role, maintaining structural integrity of the kidney
