Generation of patterned kidney organoids that recapitulate the adult kidney collecting duct system from expandable ureteric bud progenitors. Nature Communications, 2021; 12 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467 ...

This image highlights the nerves and the collecting duct system in an embryonic mouse kidney. In yellow, you can see the network of collecting duct tubes that run throughout the kidney (1). The blue ...

They generated mice that lacked the gene encoding GRHL2 in the collecting duct system of the kidneys. "These genetically engineered mice appeared normal and healthy at first sight," says Schmidt-Ott.

In a new study in Nature Communications, Zhongwei Li and his colleagues describe how they can generate rudimentary kidney structures, known as organoids, that resemble the collecting duct system ...

Vinculin is a 117–130 kDa cytoskeletal protein containing 1066 amino acids (1, 2, 3). Its gene is encoded on human chromosome 10q11.2-qter (4). Recently, the complete sequences of human as well ...
