Nephrotic Syndrome and Glomerular Basement Membrane: Genetic Defect of the Laminin α5 Chain
… and laminin γ1, it is a major component of the glomerular basement membrane. Mutations in <i>LAMB2</i> are associated with Pierson’s syndrome and mutations in <i>LAMA5</i> have recently been identified in paediatric patients affected by nephrotic syndrome. <br></br><br></br> As part of the MRC …

A Glomerular Basement Membrane-on-a-Chip Model for Investigating Charge-Selective Transport Across the Human Filtration Barrier
… the body. However, during dialysis, blood–membrane interactions activate the coagulation cascade and complement system, leading to protein adsorption on the membrane surface, impaired filtration, and adverse patient outcomes. This underscores the need for biocompatible membranes that better …

Factors affecting severity of injury in allergic renal disease
… raised in sheep, containing antibodies to rabbit glomerular basement membrane. In a second group of experiments, the induction of an acute phase response in rabbits by the subcutaneous injection of a local irritant was studied. It was characterised by changes in C-reactive protein (CRP), the third …

Hindered transport in composite hydrogels
… needed to describe transport within the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Specifically, dimensionless diffusive and convective hindrance factors were investigated by measuring macromolecular permeability through synthetic, two-fiber, agarose-dextran hydrogels at very small or very high …

Studies of ADAMTS13 expression and activity in the kidney
… tubulopathy suggesting local synthesis. Cultured glomerular endothelial cells were also shown to express biologically active ADAMTS13. ADAMTS13-deficiency in mice led to glomerular capillary vessel wall thickening and platelet deposition as demonstrated by electron microscopy. ADAMTS13 was also …

Conjugated Linoleic Acid in the treatment of murine autoimmune glomerulonephritis
… mesangial cells, and in murine models of anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) glomerulonephritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SV40-transformed mouse mesangial cells (MES13) were cultured with pure CLA isomers (c9,t11 or t10,c12-CLA or a 50:50 mixture prior to immune …

FUZZY METHODS FOR OBJECT RECOGNITION
… is tested by applying it to the detection of the glomerular basement membrane in kidney electron micrographs.

A ten year retrospective study of the aetiology and outcome of crescentic glomerulonephritis in children presenting to the Red Cross Children's Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa
… represents the extreme end on the spectrum of glomerular injury. It can result from a wide range of disease conditions and clinically is marked by a rapid deterioration in renal function over days, weeks or months. Although rare, crescentic glomerulonephritis is an important entity to recognize …

Functional, Structural and Molecular Alterations in the Heart and Kidney During Diabetes Mellitus
… whereas the kidney presented with increase glomerular basement membrane thickness in T1DM compared to controls. These data clearly show that adult vs young adult, in combination with STZ-induced T1DM, can elicit severe changes to both the heart and the kidney, respectively in structural, …

Effects of plasma proteins on the sieving of macromolecular tracers in the kidney
… waste and retain desirable substances. The glomerular barrier has long been regarded as both a size and charge selective screen for plasma solutes. The origin of this selectivity is found in the unique three-layered structure of the glomerular capillary wall (GCW), consisting of a …

Die Bedeutung des Kollagenrezeptors α2β1- Integrin bei der Pathogenese und Prävention der Nierenfibrose in hereditären Typ IV- Kollagen- Erkrankungen
… IV hat als einer der Hauptbestandteile von Basalmembranen eine Struktur gebende Funktion und ist als Ligand an Rezeptoren der Zelle bei der Vermittlung von Signalkaskaden, die Zellfunktionen, Wachstums- und Differenzierungsprozesse beeinflussen maßgeblich beteiligt. Aufgrund seiner weit …
