NIH Solicitations – January 2011

A GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) (U01) – Through the efforts of the GUDMAP consortium, substantial progress has been made in establishing a molecular anatomy atlas of the developing murine kidney. This has provided a significant resource in support of research in kidney development, repair and regeneration. However, there remain significant gaps within the atlas in the areas of the developing lower urinary tract (ureter, bladder, urethra, sphincter, and prostate) and the developing vascular and nervous system associated with the organs of the urinary tract.
