Three-Dimensional Imaging Reveals Ureteric and Mesenchymal Defects in Fgfr2-Mutant Kidneys
15 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Current techniques to morphologically characterize the processes of nephrogenesis and ureteric branching during kidney development have many limitations. Here, we used in vivo three-dimensional analysis to study renal development in mice lacking fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 in the ureteric bud (Fgfr2(UB-/-)) and in littermate controls. We found that Fgfr2(UB-/-) mice have more severe defects in ureteric...
