Lower urinary tract
- Yap and Taz are required for Ret-dependent urinary tract morphogenesis
Summary: In mice, conditional ablation of Yap and Taz in the nephric duct lineage leads to hydronephrotic kidneys, enhanced Ret pathway activity and defective nephric duct fusion to the cloaca.
- An illustrated anatomical ontology of the developing mouse lower urogenital tract
SUMMARY: The developmental anatomy of the lower urinary and reproductive systems of developing and postnatal mice is described, providing a revised ontology to aid the understanding of human urogenital tract abnormalities.
