Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While we previously succeeded in inducing kidney tissues from stem cells, integration of vasculature is necessary for the renal functions.The purpose of this project is to understand the origin and developmental processes of renal vasculature and apply the knowledge to the vascular reconstitution. We first described the development of extra- and intra-renal arteries/veins. We then identified the molecular profiles of renal vasculature. We also transplanted the embryonic mouse kidneys to the host animals to analyze the development of the vasculature.
