Description
Organogenesis of the kidney has been intensely studied for over a century. In recent years advances in molecular techniques have not only
made great inroads into exploring the genetic regulation of this complex process but also began to unravel the molecular basis of many
forms of congenital kidney disease. This book is a comprehensive study on these findings and the only book available with such in depth
coverage of the kidney.
Audience
Nephrologists, cell and developmental biologists, hematologists, and clinicians interested in kidney disease.
