Fig. 1: Glomerular outgrowth cells (GOCs) cultured in podocyte specification media (PSM) display classic podocyte morphology.

Brightfield images showing morphological changes to GOCs with increasing PSM culture time. Cells appear to have larger cell bodies and more primary processes with longer PSM exposure. Process extensions also appear to contact other cell processes and cell bodies (insets). Scale bars = 25 mm.
