In the salivary gland, tissue induced by ligation of main ducts leads to disappearance acinar cells and marked proliferation ductal cells. Reopening repopulation within 1 2 weeks, which suggests activation in a damaged state. Because submandibular glands derive from endoderm ectoderm, we investigated possibility presence endodermal We cultured obtained ligated gland identified colonies...
