Kidney development: roles of Sprouty, Wnt2b and type XVIII collagen in the ureteric bud morphogenesis
Abstract The mammalian metanephric kidney develops through ureteric bud branching morphogenesis and tubule formation and involves secreted inductive signals and possibly their antagonists to regulate the process. Sprouty (spry) genes encode antagonists of FGFs and the EGF signalling pathways. To ge...
