From the earliest studies with epithelial cells implanted into detrusor muscle to later
experiments on smooth muscle in defined collagen gels, cell niche and extracellular matrix …

While nephron formation is known to be initiated by a mesenchyme-to-epithelial transition of
the cap mesenchyme to form a renal vesicle (RV), the subsequent patterning of the nephron …

The mammalian kidney is organized into a cortex where primary filtration occurs, and a
medullary region composed of elongated tubular epithelia where urine is concentrated. We …

The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. During its organogenesis, the mammalian
metanephric kidney generates thousands of nephrons over a protracted period of fetal life …

Testis cords are specialized tubes essential for generation and export of sperm, yet the
mechanisms directing their formation, and the regulation of their position, size, shape, and …

The kidney has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury, as it is not a terminally
differentiated organ. This regenerative potential is somehow incomplete, however, and as …

SMOC1 and SMOC2 are matricellular proteins thought to influence growth factor signaling,
migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. We examined the expression and regulation of …

To unravel regulatory networks of genes functioning during embryonic development,
information on in situ gene expression is required. Enormous amounts of such data are …

The importance of science communication has been recognised for many years. Indeed
New Zealand's most famous scientist, Sir Ernest Rutherford, has been cited as saying that all …
