The importance of podocyte adhesion for a healthy glomerulus
AbstractPodocytes are specialized epithelial cells that cover the outer surfaces of glomerular capillaries. Unique cell junctions, known as slit diaphragms, which feature nephrin and Neph-familiy proteins in addition to components of adherens, tight and gap junctions, connect adjacent podocyte foot...
