Polycystin Signaling Is Required for Directed Endothelial Cell Migration and Lymphatic Development
24 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a common form of inherited kidney disease that is caused by mutations in two genes, PKD1 (polycystin-1) and PKD2 (polycystin-2). Mice with germline deletion of either gene die in midgestation with a vascular phenotype that includes profound edema. Although an endothelial cell defect has been suspected, the basis of this phenotype remains poorly understood. Here, we...
