Video 1
-
Fluorescence microscopy of F-actin in human renal tissue showing respective degree of damage to arterial smooth muscle for scoring 0; intact filamentous structures in most cells.
Video 2
-
Fluorescence microscopy of F-actin in human renal tissue showing respective degree of damage to arterial smooth muscle for scoring 2; damaged (aggregated clumped) structures in most cells.
Video 3
-
Fluorescence microscopy for vWF in human renal tissue showing respective degree of damage to the peritubular capillary endothelium for scoring 0; vWF present on more than 75 % of the endothelial lining.
Video 4
-
Fluorescence microscopy for vWF in human renal tissue showing respective degree of damage to the peritubular capillary endothelium for scoring 3; vWF present on <25% of the endothelial lining.
Video 5
-
Fluorescence microscopy for á smooth muscle actin in human renal tissue showing respective degree of peritubular pericyte staining for scoring 0; staining for á smooth muscle actin occupying more than 75 % of the peritubular space.
Video 6
-
Fluorescence microscopy for á smooth muscle actin in human renal tissue showing respective degree of peritubular pericyte staining for scoring 3; staining for á smooth muscle actin occupying < 25% of the peritubular space. A structure stained for á-smooth muscle actin in the center is an artery.
