Tubular cell loss in early inv/nphp2 mutant kidneys represents a possible homeostatic mechanism in cortical tubular formation.
Inversion of embryonic turning (inv) cystic mice develop multiple renal cysts and are a model for type II nephronophthisis (NPHP2). The defect of planar cell polarity (PCP) by oriented cell division was proposed as the underlying cellular phenotype, while abnormal cell proliferation and apoptosis oc...
