Biochemical and Cellular Determinants of Renal Glomerular Elasticity.

Biochemical and Cellular Determinants of Renal Glomerular Elasticity.

The elastic properties of renal glomeruli and their capillaries permit them to maintain structural integrity in the presence of variable hemodynamic forces. Measured by micro-indentation, glomeruli have an elastic modulus (E, Young's modulus) of 2.1 kPa, and estimates from glomerular perfusion...
