  • Title: [Characteristics of the cytoskeleton structure of podocytes in vertebrates].
    Author: Zaĭtsev VB, Gambarian SP.
    Journal: Tsitologiia; 1986 Sep; 28(9):926-31. PubMed ID: 3798560.
    Abstract:
    Using transmission electron microscopy a study was made of the cytoskeleton of the renal glomerulus visceral epithelium cells (-podocytes) in representatives of all classes of vertebrates. An obvious tendency of microtubules in the cytoskeletons of the investigated cells is disclosed. This process is accompanied by the intense intracellular development of microfilaments. The role the podocyte cytoskeleton in renal ultrafiltration, and possible mechanisms of its functioning are discussed.
