Excerpt

It is my great pleasure to present in the current volume of Anatomical Science International a special issue concerning recent topics on the morphology and cell biology of the kidney, including contributions from among the most active researchers in this field. The kidney is a vital organ in the human body and is one of the most complicated organs in terms of both structure and function. Kidney tissue is highly organized, with two cortical subdivisions and three medullary zones, and it contains many specific cell types, including three in the glomerulus and fifteen along the renal tubule. Aside from the brain, the structural and functional complexity of the kidney far exceeds those of the other vital organs (the heart, lung, liver, and small intestine). …
