Rheological Influence Upon the Glomerular Podocyte and Resultant Mechanotransduction

Rheological Influence Upon the Glomerular Podocyte and Resultant Mechanotransduction

The glomerular podocyte is exposed to numerous mechanical forces as a constituent of the glomerular filtration apparatus. This includes fluid shear stress (FSS) displaced upon the podocytic foot process's apical, lateral, and basal surfaces. Even in the face of continuous flow the podocyte is c...
