Role of biophysics and mechanobiology in podocyte physiology

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 05 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41581-024-00815-3In this Review, the authors examine the biophysical and biomechanical properties that influence podocyte physiology as they integrate and adapt to stimuli from their dynamic environment within the glomerular capillaries. The authors also discuss how dysregulation and loss of biomechanical resilience in podocytes can contribute to kidney disease.
