Figure 1

Light micrograph of section of developing rat kidney showing comma-shaped nephric figure. A vascular cleft (large arrow) has formed and is the site of angioblast ingress. Visceral epithelial cells (VE) will develop into podocyes, and parietal epithelial cells (PE) will line Bowman's capsule. A small Bowman's space (BS) can be observed. Note mitotic figures (double arrows) in developing tubular segment of the forming nephron. UD: Ureteric duct. Reproduced with permission (ref. 36).
