Mouse renal podocytes (MPC-5)

Mouse renal podocytes (MPC-5) serve as a pivotal model for studying kidney function and disease allowing researchers to investigate the cellular mechanisms involved in renal filtration and the impact of various stimuli on these critical cells With the capability of being preserved in dry ice and transported as live cells MPC-5 ensures that experiments can be conducted with fresh viable cells enhancing the accuracy and reliability of research outcomes

In drug development MPC-5 cells are utilized to evaluate the effects of pharmacological compounds on podocyte health providing insights into therapeutic options for kidney disorders such as nephrotic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy By observing the response of these adherent epithelioid cells to different treatments scientists can elucidate pathways critical to kidney disease progression and develop innovative strategies to combat renal-related pathologies

Furthermore their adaptability in culture conditions including a 90% DMEM and 10% FBS growth medium allows for optimal cell maintenance and a robust environment for experimental manipulation making MPC-5 an invaluable resource for ongoing studies in renal physiology and pathology
