Abstract
Glommerular filtration barrier (GFB) provides almost total reaction of large protein. The filtration function of GFB is come from its unique structure composed of podocytes, glomerular basement membrane and glomerular endothelium. Here, we developed microfluidic 3D in vitro model for glomerular endothelium. The model can incorporate co culture of podocytes and synthetic basement membrane. Permeability of the glomerular endothelium was significantly enhanced by synthetic basement membrane and podocytes. It suggests our model can be promising tool to investigate GFB function under precisely reconstituted 3D integrated microenvironments.
