Beta-Catenin and Development of the Urogenital System
The urogenital system is composed of the kidneys, gonads, urinary and reproductive tracts. Components of the urogenital system play many important roles in the body; kidneys function by regulating the body's fluid volume, acidity and mineral composition, while the reproductive tract is necessary …

Involvement of the WT1 and p16 genes in Wilms' tumour and human malignant mesothelioma
… are known to contribute to development of the urogenital system and the mesothelium (WTI) and to control of the cell cycle (pi6).

The role of Wt1 in Müllerian duct development
… transcription factor widely expressed in the urogenital system. Human mutations of <em>WT1</em> lead to pediatric nephroblastoma as well as frequent differences of sex development (DSDs). Previous studies have suggested that WT1 acts as an activator for <em>Amhr2</em>, a necessary component of …

Assessing Microbial Diversity Through Nucleotide Variation
… they govern biogeochemical transformations in ecosystems. The human body is home to a diverse assemblage of microbial species as well. In fact, the number of microbial cells in the gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, skin, airway passages and urogenital system is approximately an order of …

Regulatory dynamics of the Tbx18 locus in mouse urogenital development
The mature mammalian urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys produce urine that is then carried by the ureters to the bladder where it is stored. It is then released through the urethra. In males, the prostate develops at the junction of these structures from …

Balancing Renewal and Differentiation of Progenitor Cells in the Developing Kidney
Mammalian kidneys perform the important function of blood filtration. All the filtered wastes are concentrated into urine and excreted from the body. The kidney performs these functions through individual functional units called nephrons. While nephron number may decrease during one's lifetime (due …

Proteomic Profiling of Serum Derived Exosomes from Prostate Cancer Patients
… as the non-cancer prostate stroma and the immune system interact with neoplastic cells. This could be reflected in some of the similarities in the proteomic profile of serum-derived exosomes and exosomes derived from direct PCa in vitro cell line cultures. Moreover, PCa has a higher incidence and …
