K Asanuma, P Mundel - Clinical and Experimental Nephrology, 2003 - Springer The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) provides the primary structural support for the glomerular
tuft. The ba- sic unit of the glomerular tuft is a single capillary. Endothe- lial and mesangial cells
are located inside the GBM, while podocytes are attached to its outer aspect. 1 Podocytes ... Cited by 78 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 3 versions
