The researchers could then differentiate them further into cells expressing SIX2, SALL1, and WTI, important markers of the metanephric cap mesenchyme, a critical stage of kidney differentiation.
In kidney development, the metanephric cap mesenchyme contains a population of progenitor cells that give rise to nearly all of the epithelial cells of the kidney.
