This review aims to assist in the categorization of inherited, developmental, and acquired
cystic disease of the kidney as well as to provide a pertinent, up-to-date bibliography. The …

In this review, the role of wall shear stress in the chicken embryonic heart is analyzed to
determine its effect on cardiac development through regulating gene expression. Therefore …

The assembly of primary cilia is dependant on intraflagellar transport (IFT), which mediates
the bidirectional movement of proteins between the base and tip of the cilium. In mice …

We examined the osteoblast/osteocyte expression and function of polycystin-1 (PC1), a
transmembrane protein that is a component of the polycystin-2 (PC2)-ciliary mechano …

Despite the high prevalence of feline pancreatic disease, no detailed description on the
histopathologic nature of this disease is currently available in the literature. In this study we …

Metanephric organ culture has been used to determine whether embryonic kidney tubules
can be stimulated by cAMP to form cysts. Under basal culture conditions, wild-type kidneys …

Reviews and critical articles covering the entire field of normal anatomy (cytology, histology,
cyto-and histochemistry, electron microscopy, macroscopy, experimental morphology and …

Abstract Polycystin 2 (PC2) is one of two main protein types responsible for the underlying
etiology of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most prevalent …

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney
disease and is characterized by the formation of renal cysts and the eventual development …

In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), cyst formation and enlargement
require proliferation of mural renal epithelial cells and the transepithelial secretion of fluid …
