Molecular anatomy of the glomerular filtration barrier reveals topology-encoded albumin sieving
The kidney filters plasma rapidly while retaining albumin, yet where and how this selectivity is encoded within the glomerular filtration barrier remain unresolved. Here we combine cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) of vitrified mouse glomeruli with structure-resolved transport modelling to predict albumin passage from the native three-dimensional architecture of the barrier. Among the three…
