This is great! When shall we see editorial decision processes becoming transparent?

Ureteric bud (UB) branching determines the final size, shape, and nephron number of kidneys. Characterization of UB cell shapes identified dynamic round-to-elliptical transition and cellular volume changes as critical epithelial modifications that increase morphological complexity in UB tips during their transitions through ampulla-to-asymmetric ampulla conformations. The data support cellular crowding model in transforming individual cells into elliptical and elongated shapes to facilitate diversity in decisions of new branch orientations.

Fresh from the lab! Epithelial cell segmentation identified round-to-elliptical cell shape change as a key mechanism facilitating ureteric bud branching in developing kidney.

Introducing Kuure lab with genuine interest in mechanisms driving organogenesis and morphogenesis. Keen on learning latest science discoveries and opportunities to interact in a positive atmosphere.

Kidney development at glance. A) Ureteric bud branching morphogenesis allows embryonic kidney growth and determines the number of nephrons. B) Nephron differentiation.
