Product Description<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Podocytes are terminally differentiated highly specialized epithelial cells that lining the outer surface of the glomerular capillaries in kidney [1]<\/sup>. Podocytes together with the opposing monolayers of fenestrated endothelial cells in the vascular space and glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in between form the three-layer glomerular filtration barrier which functions as size-selective and charge-dependent molecular sieve for the main function of nephron. Podocytes injury, which is usually termed “foot process effacement” is a pathological process found in many kidney diseases [2]<\/sup>. In vitro cultured podocytes are useful model to study podocytes biology. These cells can also be used with glomerular endothelial cells for coculture studies in an attempt to better study barrier permeability or be cultured in Matrigel for three-dimensional or organoid studies[3]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

iXCells\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Podocytes Culture Medium is a complete medium uniquely designed to maintain primary podocyte growth in vitro. The cells maintain their cell specific markers as well as function for as long as 2-3 passages which makes it suitable for the following cell characterization and functional assays. The medium contains all the necessary nutrients that podocyte needs to grow and perform their function. The medium is provided as the antibiotics free complete culture medium supplemented with the working concentration of fetal bovine serum (FBS). No additional FBS is needed for cell culture.<\/p>\n
