Abstract

Glomerulonephritis results in a dysregulation of glomerular cells and may end up in chronic alterations and subsequent loss of renal function. Therefore, understanding mechanisms, which contribute to maintain glomerular integrity, is a pivotal prerequisite for therapeutic interventions. The alpha-8 integrin chain seems to be an important player to maintain glomerular homeostasis by conferring mechanical stability and functional support for the renal capillary tuft.
