Reciprocal Induction
• Mutual Dependency
• Implies that factors made in
Mesenchyme>>Ureteric bud>>Mesenchyme
• Hence any interruption of the signaling between
these compartments must affect both
compartments.
• Determination of targeting and downstream
signaling is complex because a factor may come
from the mesenchyme to instruct the ureteric
bud to synthesize a factor important in the
mesenchyme.
