Control of nephrogenesis by Wnt4 signaling:mechanisms of gene regulation and targeting of specific lineage cells by tissue engineering tools
Abstract Wnt4, a member of the Wnt family of secreted factors, is essential for kidney organogenesis since the kidney fails to develop in its absence. Besides the kidney, Wnt4 signaling is involved in the control of development of several other organs such as the gonads, adrenal glands and pituitar...
