The growth and maturation of human glomeruli and proximal convolutions from term to adulthood.
Large terminals that take par t in glomeruli also occasionally were seen.
The renal glomeruli showed mesangial hypercellularity with occasional interstitial polymorphs.
F1 terminals within glomeruli are thought to originate from interneuron axons.
Typically, these triads are embedded in more complex synaptic zones known as glomeruli.
Both size and charge selectivity govern the passage of solutes through the glomeruli.
By 9 weeks of age the glomeruli are scarred as shown above.
Strikingly, glomeruli and primitive-appearing tubules had formed; these appeared to connect up to the polycarbonate membrane.
