Analysis of Nephron Composition and Function in the Adult Zebrafish Kidney
9 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
The zebrafish model has emerged as a relevant system to study kidney development, regeneration and disease. Both the embryonic and adult zebrafish kidneys are composed of functional units known as nephrons, which are highly conserved with other vertebrates, including mammals.
