CD31+ plexuses form around ureteric bud ampullae. (A–D) Plexuses form around ureteric bud ampullae from E13.5–P0. (E) Image illustrating the organisation of endothelial plexuses around ureteric bud tips at E17.5 (blend projection prepared using IMARIS; A = ampulla). (F) Decreasing size of endothelial plexuses with embryonic age. (G) Slopes showing the similarity in the rate of decrease of endothelial plexus area and the square root of cell numbers per ampulla across embryogenesis. Scale bars: (A–D) = 100 µm; (E) = 20 µm.
