Development of the Xenopus pronephric system

Article Abstract:

The early development of lower vertebrate kidneys starts with the pronephric system. Researchers observed the development of frog kidneys with labelled monoclonal antibodies. One antibody stained the tubules and nephrostomes of the pronephroi and another stained the duct and nephrostomes of the developing embryo. At the early stage of development, the collecting tubule, the connective tubules, and the pronephric duct are separate. The connecting tubule and the rostral fragment of the duct undergo significant winding during later stages of development.

Microarray analysis of PDGFR alpha + populations in ES cell differentiation culture identifies genes involved in differentiation of mesoderm and mesenchyme including ARID3b that is essential for development of embryonic mesenchymal cells

Article Abstract:

Identification of novel genes that are similar to platelet-derived growth factor receptor, using DNA microarray studies on mouse embryonic cells, to find their role in embryogenesis is presented.
