  • The portion of undifferentiated intermediate mesoderm in contact with the tips of the branching ureteric bud is known as the metanephrogenic blastema. (wikipedia.org)
  • Signals released from the ureteric bud induce the differentiation of the metanephrogenic blastema into the renal tubules. (wikipedia.org)
  • When the nephric duct reaches the level of the developing hind limb, it gives rise to a caudal diverticulum, the ureteric bud that invades the metanephric mesenchyme in week 4 of human development. (medscape.com)
  • Bone morphogenetic protein ( BMP ) signaling in the surrounding mesoderm is also inhibitory to outgrowth of the ureteric bud, but within the metanephrogenic blastema its action is counteracted by the BMP-inhibitory actions of gremlin , which is produced within the blastema itself.
