Elongation of Müllerian ducts and connection to urogenital sinus determine the borderline of uterine and vaginal development
In female mice, proximal, middle and caudal Müllerian ducts (MDs) differentiate into oviduct, uterus and vagina, respectively. The fates of female reproductive tract epithelia are determined by the mesenchyme. However, the mesenchymal fate determination system is still unclear. It is reported that...
