This article reviews the majority of Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract
(CAKUT) with emphasis in Pediatric Pathology describing and illustrating lesions as varied …

Over the past few decades, biologists have identified key molecular signatures associated
with a wide range of human cancers. Recently, animal models have been particularly useful …

Congenital anomalies of the kidneys or lower urinary tract (CAKUT) are the most common
causes of renal failure in children and account for 25% of end-stage renal disease in adults …

The basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) proteins represent a well-known class of transcriptional
regulators. Many bHLH proteins act as heterodimers with members of a class of ubiquitous …

Recent studies have suggested that oligodendrocyte development is likely to be under the
control of a hierarchy of lineage-specific transcription factors. In the developing mouse …

Congenital anomalies of the lower urinary tract (CALUT) are a family of birth defects of the
ureter, the bladder, and the urethra. CALUT includes ureteral anomaliesc such as congenital …

This paper reviews the current literature on both the pathophysiology and treatment options
for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). A medical literature search using …

Over recent years routine ultrasound scanning has identified increasing numbers of
neonates as having hydronephrosis and pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). This …

The mammalian ureter is a slender tube that connects the renal pelvis with the bladder. It
allows the unidirectional movement of urine by means of a peristaltically active smooth …

The Hspa4l gene, also known as Apg1 or Osp94, belongs to the HSP110 heat shock gene
family, which includes three genes encoding highly conserved proteins. This study shows …
