One part of this organ extends footlike projections that interface with capillaries, known as (*) podocytes.
It's not the small intestine, but mutations in GLEPP1 may result in the abnormal growth of vacuoles and microvilli in this organ, two hallmarks of minimal change disease. Intense physical exercise might result in a "pseudo" condition mimicking a serious disease of this organ for three days.
