The PI3K Pathway Balances Self-Renewal and Differentiation of Nephron Progenitor Cells through β-Catenin Signaling

Nephron progenitor cells differentiate to form nephrons during embryonic kidney development. In contrast, self-renewal maintains progenitor numbers and premature depletion leads to impaired kidney function. Here we analyze the PI3K pathway as a point of convergence for the multiple pathways that are...
