Abstract excerpt
During nephrogenesis, dynamic changes in the expression of cell adhesion molecules are evident as epithelial structures differentiate from the induced mesenchyme. The cadherins are thought to play an important role in the metanephric mesenchyme, when cells aggregate to form the renal vesicle, a polarized epithelial structure which eventually fuses with the ureteric bud to generate a continuous nascent nephron. We...
