There was no correlation between number of granulated peripolar cells at the vascular pole and the position of the renal corpuscle within the renal cortex.

This study outlines steps in creating a virtual 3D model of the renal corpuscle from serial, semi-thin, histological sections obtained from epoxy resin-embedded kidney tissue.

Larger, more protruding peripolar cells were observed in the outer cortical renal corpuscles.

Renal vesicle, early proximal and distal tubule, loop of Henle, and renal corpuscle genes were expressed by mesonephric tubules.
