Morphological changes in the vas deferens and expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in control, deltaF508 and knock-out CFTR mice during postnatal life.

Abstract excerpt

The morphology of the mouse vas deferens still undergoes major changes from birth to 40 days of age, such as differentiation of the mesenchymal cells into fibroblasts and muscle cells, differentiation of the epithelium into basal and columnar epithelial cells, development of stereocilia, and the appearance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum organised in fingerprint-like structures or parallel, flattened saccules.
