PAX2 is dispensable for in vitro nephron formation from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Abstract The kidney is formed by reciprocal interactions between the nephron progenitor and the ureteric bud, the former of which gives rise to the epithelia of nephrons consisting of glomeruli and renal tubules. The transcription factor PAX2 is essential for this mesenchymal-to-epithelial transitio...
