The mammalian permanent kidney consists of three cell lineages of different origin: the
epithelial cells of the ureter bud, the mesenchymal cells of the nephric blastema and the …

Embryonic metanephroi, differentiating into the adult kidney, have come to be a generally
accepted model system for organogenesis. Nephrogenesis implies a highly controlled …

The development of the human kidney is a complex process that requires interactions
between epithelial and mesenchymal cells, eventually leading to the coordinated growth …

This description of a model system for cell differentiation and organogenesis is written by
one of the foremost researchers in the area. The main emphasis is on the mammalian …

The mammalian kidney may well be one of the most complex organs of postnatal life. Each
adult human kidney contains on average more than one million functional filtration units, the …

Many of the functions of the kidney are carried out by two cell types, the epithelial and the
endothelial cells. Epithelial cells constitute the distal and proximal tubuli, and the visceral …

Kidney epithelia have two separate origins. Collecting ducts develop in the manner of most
glandular organs, by growth and branching of a bud derived from a pre-existing epithelium …

The molecular regulation of the complex inductive events associated with formation of the
vertebrate excretory system has been progressively elucidated as a result of both genetic …

The development of the mature mammalian kidney begins with the invasion of metanephric
mesenchyme by ureteric bud. Mesenchymal cells near the bud become induced and convert …

Development of an organ is directed by cell and tissue interactions and these also occur
during the formation of functional kidney. During vertebrate development inductive signalling …
