Urogenital sinus
- RET-mediated glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor signaling inhibits mouse prostate development
Summary: RET-mediated GDNF signaling in the urogenital sinus increases proliferation of urethral mesenchyme cells and suppresses androgen-induced proliferation and differentiation of prostate epithelial cells.
- 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.
