mesenchymal stem cell differentiation involved in nephron morphogenesis

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0072037

The process in which 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.
