Refuting the hypothesis that semaphorin ‐3f/neuropilin‐2 exclude blood vessels from the cap mesenchyme in the developing kidney

Conclusions: Despite their complementary expression patterns, our data suggest that Sema3f and Nrp2 are dispensable for the exclusion of vessels from the cap mesenchyme during kidney development. These results should provoke additional experiments to ascertain the biological significance of Sema3f/Nrp2 expression in the developing kidney. This article is protected by copyright.
