Basic/Clinical Science Session
A Dynamic Filtration Barrier: Insights from Experimental Models of Glomerular Diseases
October 24, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Room 6A, Convention Center
Session Description
The unique dynamic and selective nature of blood filtration to produce urine requires functionality of various glomerular components. Recent research efforts have transformed our understanding of the structure and multifaceted roles of the cells in development and in disease pathogenesis by leveraging different experimental models. This session discusses challenges and opportunities of these emerging systems.
Support is provided by an educational grant from Travere Therapeutics, Inc.
