Abstract:
Branching morphogenesis is a dynamic developmentalprocess shared by many organs but the mechanisms thatreorganize cells during branching morphogenesis are notwell understood. We hypothesized that extensive cellrearrangements are involved and inv

Branching morphogenesis; Migration; Salivary gland; Fibronectin

Materials & Methods:
Whole SMGs were cultured as previously described (Hoffman et al. 2002) except that for imaging they were cultured submerged in glass-bottom culture dishes (MatTek) coated with FN.
