Abstract excerpt
BackgroundWe tested the hypothesis that Foxd1, a transcription factor essential for normal kidney development, is an upstream regulator of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) during ureteric bud (UB)-branching morphogenesis.MethodsUB branching, RAS gene, and protein expression were studied in embryonic mouse kidneys. RAS mRNA expression was studied in mesenchymal MK4 cells.ResultsThe number of UB tips was reduced...
