Abstract
Two types of parietal podocyte were previously described in the Bowman capsule: one characterized by coexpression of podocyte and parietal epithelial cell markers, the other characterized by expression of podocyte markers only. New research demonstrates that these populations represent podocyte progenitors and ectopic podocytes—distinct cell types with different clinical implications.Mesh:
