Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals differential cell cycle activity in key cell populations during nephrogenesis

Abstract The kidney is a complex organ composed of more than 30 terminally differentiated cell types that all are required to perform its numerous homeostatic functions. Defects in kidney development are a significant cause of chronic kidney disease in children, which can lead to kidney failure that...
