TL;DR: It is concluded that cystatin C is mainly removed from the extracellular fluid by the kidneys, practically freely filtered in the glomeruli, and completely absorbed and rapidly broken down by the proximal tubular cells.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the skin contains a hypertonic interstitial fluid compartment in which MPS cells exert homeostatic and blood pressure-regulatory control by local organization of interstitial electrolyte clearance via TONEBP and VEGFC/VEGFR3-mediated modification of cutaneous lymphatic capillary function.

TL;DR: Data suggest that the glomerular endothelium may play a role in the pathogenesis of proteinuric renal diseases, and adriamycin thins the glomersular glycocalyx, perhaps by downregulating proteoglycan synthesis, and altersglomerular charge- and size selectivity.

TL;DR: There were no indications of increases in theta vs. GFR, as indicative of concentration polarization, for the proteins investigated at high GFRs, and the glomerular small-pore radius assessed from endogenous (neutral) protein sieving data was found to be smaller than previously determined using dextran or Ficoll as test molecules.

TL;DR: The absence of one or more of these proteins causes proteinuria and illustrates the importance of the ECC in glomerular permselectivity.
