title: Induced renal dysplasia in the young pouch opossum.
abstract: Using the North American opossum, Didelphis virginiana, we have developed a new model for studying the effects of early fetal urinary obstruction on subsequent renal development. We have successfully induced renal dysplasia in the marsupial that has a typically mammalian kidney.
