METHOD FOR THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL CO-CULTURE OF PODOCYTES AND ENDOTHELIAL CELLS AND RELATIVE IN VITRO CO-CULTURE SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a new three-dimensional co-culture method of podocytes and endothelial cells, and a relative co-culture system. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of said co-culture system as an in vitro study model of pathologies affecting the kidneys, and in particular the renal glomerular filtration barrier.
