The instructive role of metanephric mesenchyme in ureteric bud patterning, sculpting, and maturation and its potential ability to buffer ureteric bud branching defects.

31 Aug 2009 Kidney organogenesis depends on reciprocal interactions between the ureteric bud (UB) and the metanephric mesenchyme (MM) to form the UB-derived collecting system and MM-derived nephron. With the advent of in vitro systems, it is clear that UB ... Read more...

Organ and gestational age effects of maternal nutrient restriction on global methylation in fetal baboons.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: A sub-optimal intrauterine environment alters the trajectory of fetal development with profound effects on life-time health. Altered methylation, a proposed epigenetic mechanism responsible for these changes, has been studied in ... Read more...

Anatomy and ultrasonography of the normal kidney in brown lemurs: Eulemur fulvus.

30 Jul 2009 The purpose of this study is to describe the anatomy and obtain echographic measurements of normal kidneys in brown lemurs (Eulemur fulvus). The anatomical findings show that brown lemur kidneys are comparable to those of rats except for an ... Read more...
