A Microfluidic Platform for Investigating Transmembrane Pressure-Induced Glomerular Leakage

A Microfluidic Platform for Investigating Transmembrane Pressure-Induced Glomerular Leakage

Transmembrane pressure across the glomerular filter barrier may underlie renal failure. However, studies of renal failure have been difficult owing to a lack of in vitro models to capture the transmembrane pressure in a controlled approach. Here we report a microfluidic platform of podocyte culture...
