Stretch, tension and adhesion – Adaptive mechanisms of the actin cytoskeleton in podocytes

Podocytes form an epithelial layer on the outer aspect of the basement membrane of glomerular capillaries. The interdigitating pattern of podocyte foot processes (PFPs) generates a unique and extremely long cell–cell contact area – the filtration slit. Thus, the interdigitating PFPs are the morpholo...
