Reproducible patterns of cell outgrowth have been observed from isolated normal adult, human glomeruli grown in tissue culture. Three morphologically distinct cell populations designated Types I, II, and III have been observed in culture from 15 normal human kidneys. Assessment of the morphology and

The glomerulus is a complex structure including four cell types, namely mesangial, visceral epithelial, parietal epithelial and endothelial cells. Mesangial cells resemble smooth muscle cells and play a major role in the synthesis of the components of the glomerular basement membrane and in the vaso
Myocardial cells cultured from ventricles of 4-day embryonic chick hearts were labeled with H3-thymidine for the radioautographic study of DNA synthesis and nuclear cycling. After the myoblasts had been in culture for 48 hours and had begun to grow out and contract, the cultures were exposed to H3-t
Background Alterations in proteoglycan metabolism are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of high glucose on proteoglycan production and to ยฎnd a reliable in vitro model for the study of diabetic nephropathy. Methods A clone of mous
Type IV collagen production by cultured glomerular mesangial cells and the effect of glucose on it were evaluated in order to explore the possible contribution of mesangial cells to the accumulation of type IV collagen in mesangial matrix typically seen in diabetes. Type IV collagen was measured qua
