Glomeruli are small clusters of blood vessels in the kidney that play a critical role in the process of blood filtration and urine formation. These structures are responsible for filtering waste and excess substances from the blood, which are then excreted as urine. Research in this area focuses on understanding the function of glomeruli, their role in kidney disease, and potential treatments to improve kidney function. Scientists study factors such as blood pressure regulation, immune response, and inflammation that can impact the health and function of glomeruli. This research is important for developing new therapies for kidney diseases and improving overall kidney health.
