The paper shows WT1 and DDX5 regulate the let7/Igf1r axis in kidney mesenchyme, linking WT1 mutations to Wilms Tumour through microRNA and IGF signalling pathways.

This study shows that Wt1-expressing peritoneal mesothelial cells in postnatal and adult mice have limited differentiative capacity, only maintaining themselves and not contributing to other visceral tissues or blood vessels.

The paper identifies Fzd5, Lrp6, and Rspon1 as critical components required for WNT9b responsiveness in nephron progenitor cells.

The paper identifies a wound-specific notochord sheath cell subpopulation expressing Wilms Tumor 1b that forms a stopper-like structure during vertebra repair in zebrafish.
