... submandibular gland more than 40 years ago. We here present evidence that interactions between two basement membrane components, nidogen (entactin) and laminin γ1 chain, could be important for epithelial-mes-enchymal interactions in this gland. Nidogen mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization...

... a descriptive study of the distribution of the matrix glycoproteins fibronectin, laminin and entactin. The observed distribution of the fibronectin matrix implicates it in providing a structural element in several morphologically active sites; in addition our observations support the previously suggested...

...J. Sternberg; S. J. Kimber ABSTRACT The distribution of the extracellular matrix molecules fibronectin, laminin and entactin was studied in frozen sections of -day mouse embryos in order to relate their presence to neural crest cell migration. It was found that all three components were present...
