4 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
The ability to form epithelial lumina is a central architectural characteristic of virtually all organs and indispensable for their function. Ontogenetically, the kidney is one of the best-characterized organs, but concepts of the regulated formation of its hollow epithelial structures are still emerging.
