Q

factors that control kidney

A

Mesenchyme will produce WT1 which will allow tissue to respond to BMP7 and FGF2 produced by ureteric bud, this induces mesenchyme to make vesicles by proliferation and maintaining WT1 expression

WT1 regulates GDNF and HGF production by mesenchyme

this process is controlled by MET mesechyme-epithelial transition: PAX2 promotes condensation, WNT4 causes meschenchyme to epithelialize and form tubules
