Going in circles: conserved mechanisms control radial patterning in the urinary and digestive tractsCathy Mendelsohn
Department of Urology, Columbia University, New York, New York 10032, USA
J Clin Invest 116:635-7. 2006..Deletion of Tbx18 resulted in defective urothelial differentiation at the level of the ureter, suggesting that Tbx18 acts via mesenchyme as an important regulator of A-P patterning in the urinary tract...- Functional obstruction: the renal pelvis rulesCathy Mendelsohn

Department of Pathology, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, New York 10032, USA
J Neurosci 23:4590-600. 2003..These findings indicate that ATF5 blocks the differentiation of neuroprogenitor cells into neurons and must be downregulated to permit this process to occur... - The development of the bladder trigone, the center of the anti-reflux mechanismRenata Viana
Columbia University, Department of Urology, 650 West 168th Street, New York, NY 10032, USA
Development 134:3763-9. 2007..These studies suggest that urinary tract development occurs differently than previously thought, providing new insights into the mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal development... - Lack of major involvement of human uroplakin genes in vesicoureteral reflux: implications for disease heterogeneitySongshan Jiang
Epithelial Biology Unit, Ronald O Perelman Department of Dermatology, Kaplan Comprehensive Cancer Center, New York University Medical School, New York, New York, USA
Kidney Int 66:10-9. 2004..Recent studies indicate that genetic ablation of mouse uroplakin (UP) III gene, which encodes a 47 kD urothelial-specific integral membrane protein forming urothelial plaques, causes VUR and hydronephrosis... - Pathways of vitamin A delivery to the embryo: insights from a new tunable model of embryonic vitamin A deficiencyLoredana Quadro
Institute of Cancer Research, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York 10032, USA

Department of Urology, Columbia University, 630 West 168th Street, New York, New York 10032, USA
Nat Genet 32:109-15. 2002..Our studies indicate that formation of the trigonal wedge may be essential for correct insertion of the distal ureters into the bladder, and that these events are mediated by the vitamin A and Ret signaling pathways... - c-kit delineates a distinct domain of progenitors in the developing kidneyKai M Schmidt-Ott
Department of Medicine, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY 10032, USA
Dev Biol 299:238-49. 2006..These data suggest that ureteric bud-derived SCF elicits growth-promoting effects in the metanephric kidney by expanding one or more components of the interstitial c-kit-positive progenitor pool... - Distinct and sequential tissue-specific activities of the LIM-class homeobox gene Lim1 for tubular morphogenesis during kidney developmentAkio Kobayashi
Program in Developmental Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA
