Kidney Development and Regeneration, Volume 163 provides an up-to-date account of kidney development, congenital disease and regeneration. It has an emphasis on areas of the field that have been moving most quickly over the last few years, and that show potential for further rapid discovery. Each chapter is written by leading researchers, and their approaches range from genetics to cell biology to pharmacology to physiology to pathology to mathematical modeling. The volume is essential reading for those working on renal development, regeneration or pathology, and also those researching related aspects in similar organs.
