The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a mesenchymal stem cell that contributes to the shaping of a nephron. A mesenchymal stem cell is a cell that retains the ability to divide and proliferate throughout life to provide progenitor cells that can differentiate into specialized mesenchymal cells. Coordinated organization of groups of cells in the plane of an epithelium that contributes to the shaping of a nephron. The morphogenetic process in which the renal epithelium narrows along one axis and lengthens in a perpendicular axis that contributes to the shaping of a nephron. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the kidney over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The kidney is an organ that filters the blood and/or excretes the end products of body metabolism in the form of urine. The process by which the anatomical structures of the nephron are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. The process by which the anatomical structures of a nephron tubule are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A nephron tubule is an epithelial tube that is part of the nephron, the functional part of the kidney. The process by which the anatomical structures of the renal vesicle are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The renal vesicle is the primordial structure of the nephron epithelium, and is formed by the condensation of mesenchymal cells. The process by which the comma-shaped body is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The comma-shaped body is the precursor structure to the S-shaped body that contributes to the morphogenesis of the nephron. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which an organism retains a population of mesenchymal stem cells that contributes to the shaping of a nephron. A mesenchymal stem cell is a cell that retains the ability to divide and proliferate throughout life to provide progenitor cells that can differentiate into specialized mesenchymal cells. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process by which the anatomical structures of the metanephric nephron are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A metanephric nephron is the functional unit of the metanephros. Morphogenesis of a kidney. A kidney is an organ that filters the blood and excretes the end products of body metabolism in the form of urine. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the nephron over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Morphogenesis of an organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions. The process by which the S-shaped body is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The S-shaped body is the successor of the comma-shaped body that contributes to the morphogenesis of the nephron.
