Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) contribute significantly to renal failure and predispose to the development of kidney disease. Genetic and epigenetic regulations are very important for kidney formation and the development of kidney disease. Thus, there is a critical need to fully understand the molecular mechanisms underlying kidney development and diseases to provide a strong conceptual framework for the development of therapeutic interventions to prevent and treat CAJUT and progressive kidney disease.
