Vascularizing the Kidney in the Embryo and Organoid: Questioning Assumptions about Renal Vasculogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Despite much debate, there remains no clear consensus on how the kidney becomes vascularized. In general, blood vessels form by one of two processes: vasculogenesis (assembly of vessels de novo from mesodermal precursors) and angiogenesis (branching of new vessels from existing ones). In principle, renal endothelia may assemble through vasculogenesis-only mechanisms (improbable and not supported),...
