The border between progenitor cell recruitment and nephron shaping in the fetal human kidney during late gestation: a basic but understudied region

Key Points

Understanding progenitor cell recruitment is essential for nephron formation.
Damage to key points may lead to developmental arrest in nephron formation.
Identification of structural details aids in pathological screening.
Cell biological labeling provides insights into developmental processes.

Abstract

Closely related key points during early nephron formation are identified. Damage to only one of these points may result in either developmental arrest. Knowledge of these structural details is vital for pathological screening, interpretation of cell biological labeling, and identification of imprints left by noxae.
