Notch signaling, wt1 and foxc2 are key regulators of the podocyte gene regulatory network in <i>Xenopus</i>
30 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Podocytes are highly specialized cells in the vertebrate kidney. They participate in the formation of the size-exclusion barrier of the glomerulus/glomus and recruit mesangial and endothelial cells to form a mature glomerulus. At least six transcription factors (wt1, foxc2, hey1, tcf21, lmx1b and mafb) are known to be involved in podocyte specification, but how they interact to drive the differentiation program...
