Metanephric Mesenchyme Cells (MM)


Kid.MM.MtMCs
Metanephric mesenchyme cells are mesenchymal cells adjacent to the tips of the branching ureteric bud that will form the nephrons.

FoxC1/C2 and the Robo2/Slit2 transcription factor pathways repress anterior GDNF expression, thereby defining the anterior boundary of the metanephric mesenchyme.
