Abstract
Endothelial cells are active participants in processes controlling coagulation, inflammation and immune processes and an aberration in the controlling mechanisms may contribute to the development of disease within the glomerulus. The major goal of the next few years will be to develop reliable and reproducible methods for isolation and culture of glomerular endothelial cells so that their properties, and interactions with other glomerular cells, may be studied in vitro.
