Abstract excerpt
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 this review we...
