GDNF/Ret signaling and the development of the kidney

Article Abstract:

The signaling by glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) through the Ret receptor is required for normal growth of the ureteric bud during kidney development. Some studies provided new insight into the issue showing that the localized expression of the GDNF by the metanephric mesenchyme, together with several types of negative regulation, is important to elicit and correctly position the initial budding event from the Wolffian duct.
