Abstract excerpt
Spatiotemporally regulated interaction between the metanephric mesenchyme (MM) and Wolffian duct (WD) is essential for the induction of a single ureteric bud (UB). The MM then interacts with the tip of the UB to induce outgrowth and branching of the UB, which in turn promotes growth of the adjacent MM. The Ror family receptor tyrosine kinases, Ror1 and Ror2, have been shown to act as receptors for Wnt5a to...
