Abstract excerpt
Under appropriate growth factor or hormonal influence, renal epithelial cells cultured in collagen gels form branching tubular elements, reminiscent of metanephric tubulogenesis. This study evaluates the phenotypic characteristics of normal human renal epithelial cells (NK) and epithelial cells f...
