Kidney morphogenesis: cellular and molecular regulation
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 between mesenchyme and epithelium controls the organogenesis of all three kinds of kidneys: pronephros, mesonephros and metanephros. In higher animals the metanephros differentiates into the permanent kidney and in...
متن کاملCellular and Molecular Regulation of Embryonic Skeletal Development and Morphogenesis
Embryonic skeletal development is the result of programmed differentiation and morphogenesis of the embryonic mesoderm. This review summarizes recent cellular and molecular findings on the mechanisms underlying development of the cranial, axial, appendicular skeletal components. Specifically, the identities and activities of patterning and morphogenetic genes are presented, as well as the regul...
متن کاملMolecular Regulation of Lumen Morphogenesis
The asymmetric polarization of cells allows specialized functions to be performed at discrete subcellular locales. Spatiotemporal coordination of polarization between groups of cells allowed the evolution of metazoa. For instance, coordinated apical-basal polarization of epithelial and endothelial cells allows transport of nutrients and metabolites across cell barriers and tissue microenvironme...
متن کاملCellular and molecular mechanisms in kidney fibrosis.
Fibrosis is a characteristic feature of all forms of chronic kidney disease. Deposition of pathological matrix in the interstitial space and within the walls of glomerular capillaries as well as the cellular processes resulting in this deposition are increasingly recognized as important factors amplifying kidney injury and accelerating nephron demise. Recent insights into the cellular and molec...
متن کاملMolecular regulation of kidney development
Genetically engineered mice have provided much information about gene function in the field of developmental biology. Recently, conditional gene targeting using the Cre/loxP system has been developed to control the cell type and timing of the target gene expression. The increase in number of kidney-specific Cre mice allows for the analysis of phenotypes that cannot be addressed by conventional ...
