An extra-genital cell population contributes to urethra closure during mouse penis development
2023-11-11
Abstract excerpt
Hypospadias, or incomplete closure of the urethra along the penis, is the second most common birth defect in the United States. We discovered a population of extra- genital mesenchymal cells that are essential for proper penile urethra closure in mouse embryos.
